ESPN still covers racing?

Why so shocked? It's not like they have spelling bees or can play poker 24/7. Someone's gotta fill the rest of the time. We can't overburden little league baseball or women's lacrosse more than we already have, plus they have to spend some time training or having an off-season. It's either horse racing or another Sham Wow infomercial. We do have one thing going for us that the Sham Wow guy doesn't, nobody in our sport is currently in the news for biting the tongue of a hooker--we win.

I know I'm in the minority here, but Kenny wasn't my cup of tea. I like the broadcast better without the one liners.

I also liked Kenny Mayne. His dry sense of humor and wit made the telecasts more enjoyable.

One of my favs was the "OTB Day Care"........

"The racing industry hopes that one day these adorible tikes will grow up to invest many thousands of dollars in wholesome off-track betting facilities. They are fun for the whole family!"
