I vote for Kenny, in a sport that's clearly on the wane, you need a sardonic voice.

As for Hank, yes, it's ludicrous to think he is a professional handicapper who touts AP Warrior for the public, either that or he is one of the greats, sucking the public in and clearly getting a good price on his real horses. Brilliant Hank. BUt actually if you listen closely to him and sort of read between the lines, he actually is cuing you into what's really going on. I cant recall exactly but several times last year he would say "this horse isnt training well" or "leave in the bottom of exotics" or whatever w/o saying this horse sucks, but you could figure it out. He prolly really does know his stuff..

As noted above, he is clearly too self conscious for TV. I was watching last years Preakness, this evening and came to the part where Privman, Jerardi, Moss and Hank are all handicapping this with like $1000 pretend money and Hank calls out some trifecta and when he gets to the bottom picks he looks down and reads from his cue card: Barbaro, Bernadini, etc.

He must have realized how awful it looked so immediately at the end he adds.."I hope I got all that."
