I just expect better from ESPN/ABC.


This was more like "Al's Broadcast Company".

Besides Janine Edwards the coverage is a disgrace. Kenny Mayne, while amusing tries to be too cute. Hank Goldberg needs to be retired, clearly he has done enough. Jerry Bailey makes me sick and adds very little. Randy Moss is alright, but there is no excuse for not showing the races.

please lord let him be a gelding....

He is. Never married and no children. He claims to give $5 bills at Strip Clubs in South Florida on a regular basis. According to a few producers that have worked on his radio show through the years, he's simply a miserable person.

Now now, have any of them seen him sober? Give the guy a shot The technical goofs were ridiculous, surely they tested those things beforehand. They've done this before and it was better handled so I'm confused. Was it B.Y.O. Microphone Gremlin day at Belmont?

I always have and always will enjoy Kenny Mayne. If he's not part of the coverage I'm always thinking Jeanine is good but geez where's Kenny? I'm very pro-dry humor but even that farming bit left me going 'huh?' still I loved hearing him and his quips. Not that I'm a huge fan but Quint's interview of Harry Aleo will always leave me with a soft spot hehe. I find myself rooting for the guy not to suck and he's managed not to botch it that badly since so thank heaven for small victories. Rece is enthusiastic I'll give him that. Randy's fun because he plays well off of Kenny and really seems to give a crap. Say what you want but I like it when you get a good blend of someone who likes to place a bet but is also intelligent and loves horses. It's a nice thing to have and I find him likable. Brent's got a nice voice. Can he read an audio book for me? I don't care what it's about, just pick something.

I actually like Bailey, he's very polished and is much more suited to this sort of thing than Chris McCarron who, bless his heart, was horrific. My one annoyance has always been that Bailey said how he wasn't really in love with horses per se til Cigar. I might be mis-paraphrasing--can anybody remember how he puts it and does it bug you? I don't want to be unfair, I just remember I grumble when he brings it up.
