In the long run, I'm ahead at the blackjack table compared to horse racing. The major difference is I don't find myself having fun at the blackjack table.
So, Drugs I agree with you 100%. I'd go to the racetrack before the Casino every single time.

I love DVR. It was commercial city. About 15 minutes of real content. I absolutely hate how these reality shows replay what happened before the break.

All in all the show wasn't bad...I do have to say the re-created race calls were very annoying. I would have much rather enjoyed the actual race call.

Not a terrible offering, but the recycled and replayed video was awful. It was just filler, filler, filler.

Either they thought the people watching would be morons and need to see this stuff over and over or it was poorly produced. I would say a little of both.

And oh yeah, the re-cut race calls from Trevor...ick. Hope he got paid for that.
