Who does horse racing have?

Now horse racing...Guys like Hank Goldberg, Mike Watchmaker and Andy Beyer are an embarrasment to the sport. Its become so bad that ESPN throws guys who know nothing about the sport like Kenny Mayne in there to try and make it worthwhile watching.

Why cant horse racing attract some star talent like the guys who do baseball?

Well horse racing has Randy Moss and Bailey and Stevens. But for the most part horse racing is a 4 day event in the nations eyes. It is Derby, Preakness, Belmont and Breeders Cup day. Horse racing isnt like baseball, basketball or nfl where the majority of the public cares about each sport all year long. I would love to see ESPN team-up with TVG. Heck, Lyons, Carruthers, Rudolph, Simon and throw Olivares (spelling) and you have yourself a great crew. They could get people interested in the sport. Heck throw in Greg Wolf as well. TVG has a great crew. Prob better than anyone.

They could always get Muttonchops -- UUGGHHH. Battaglia and that other guy--cant remember his name--arent too bad. I tell you that Al Michaels knows horse racing--much better than Costas. They could always get Dave Johnson as well.

Beyer and Watchmaker look like drunken gambling addicts when on TV

THEY ARE

You can't compare the two sports. HR is on TV like 10x a year. Baseball every single day for months.
