I just want them to get rid of the blimp camera during the live race. I don't understand how even the casual fan could enjoy such a view. People like to see where their horses are.

Wait, so lemme get this straight, they'll cut into college football coverage on NBCSN, air the Juvenile Fillies, then go back to what they were doing? Any meaningful anything besides the race itself gonna happen there? How much analysis and post-race coverage are we gonna get? They have two days to get these races on tv in legitimate fashion and we get a slot between commercial breaks on cable for a race that truly special fillies have come out of? Surely of all the races to put in this position, they could've figured out a different way of scheduling so that it wasn't the Juvenile Fillies. "Live bonus coverage" is code for 'we're pre-empting the beginning of BC day on Saturday but will do you a solid and at least air that first race.'
I'm sure they'll argue it'll get eyeballs for the race that wouldn't otherwise be there, but anybody there for Notre Dame-Navy is gonna use this as an opportunity to get another beer and gripe that the horse racing is interfering with their football.

and of course not everyone is able to know all these people personally-i certainly meant nothing personal by my comments. i think the term 'derision' is a bit strong.

I always felt Hank's main issue was feeling comfortable enough on camera to breathe properly. He seemed to be holding in air and trying to get as much out as possible, forgetting to breathe out normally. It's a pure nerves issue, probably based on the fact that it was usually a live piece. I've been there done that myself, and it's so agonizing because thinking about it makes it worse. The commentary is not the easiest to sit through as a result, but I enjoy him as a person, and like that he puts his money where his mouth is. Hank's kind of a mascot.
