I love how whenever you make a correct criticism of a rider, Chavez has real gate problems, someone shows up with their next winner.....as though that has anything to do with what you were talking about.

Unless I missed your post where you said Jorge Chavez would never win another race.

Testy, aren't we?
I NEVER posted I had Chavez...only POSTED (IRONICALLY) the Chavez booted home the $40.00 winner in thr 9th at Belmont.

BTW, YOU do know when you do the nyra handicapping show that you are supposed to be SPEAKING TO THE CAMERA ( AUDIENCE) NOT DONOVAN.
Go watch the tape of yourself today.

i caught that nyra show today, and didn't notice anybody looking the wrong way. i'm no marty scorcese but i'm pretty sure that for a show like that you are supposed to look sometimes at the camera and other times at the guy that you are chatting with.

All of a sudden there is a bunch of people that are in communications and know everything about being on TV.

And just when I thought I had gotten past my " lying hands " and poor wardrobe problems.

I'm the "Audience" Serling and Donovan are communicating with via NYRA feed. The goal of a broadcaster is to reach and grab the attention of his/her "audience". I had a passing comment to make as an viewer of the NYRA show

LOL. Good one.

On one of your shows, did Andy Beyer ever say that Curlin was gunna run about 19th in the Kentucky Derby? If he did, then was he being serious?

And I never said you said you bet the Chavez horse.

I appreciate your suggestions about any on camera work I do, as well as those from anyone, and while it is fine if you direct your TV talent to stare straight at the camera, as you should run your stuff as you see fit, but in my case I have been directed to look at the camera part of the time as well as the person I am doing the show with. If you don't look at the other person then you give the incorrect impression that you aren't listening or conversing with them.

BTW, I was boasting to my pals at the OTB (not that you need touts) that you are a good handcapper...don't always pick the favorites(a major complaint about public handicappers). Just mentioned an extended "stare to Donovan" in passing.

As a handicapper you are very good. NYRA has been good at keeping up the video with the selections. Remind them to post your selections at the bottom of the screen

At an OTB, the NYRA sound is not always on...competition from harness tracks running...so w/o sound no one knows what race/horses are being discussed on camera w/o the selections posted.


Either way, kudos to NYRA for adding you to the handicapping show.

Thanks.

I was teasing you, but actually I have no problem with anyone suggesting things I might be doing wrong on the show, and you may well be right that I looked at Eric too much. I'll try to pay more attention to that.

I'm very happy with the progress we have made adding replays. As far as the picks on the screen, we always want to put them up but unfortunately sometimes we lose them because of technical difficulties.

Tell the OTB to put the sound up!

[ArlJim78]

actually its been quite awhile since i've watched that nyra show, i used to watch it all the time.

but what struck me today was the replays, how many there were and how they were seemlessly integrated into the show. that adds a lot.

I'm glad to hear you say that. I figure the replays work in two ways, most importantly ( obviously ) you want to show interesting trips, as this helps educate for the immediate and theoretically for the future, and secondly you can use them to enhance the broadcast and allow the viewer to stare at us less. Plus, it's nice to show clips of the leading horses in any feature.

The goal of anybody on TV, from the lowest to the highest level, is to get people to watch you. Hopefully we are encouraging more people to pay attention.
