Is there a need for two threads on this?

Yes. I want it put to a vote and last time I checked you didn't show up on the mod list.

I say no. Watch any baseball game and the team has its own set of biased announcers. Until his call is impacting the results of the race I couldn't care less if the announcer has a dog in the fight.

Name an announcer who is an agent.

Why would that make a difference? The announcer can't impact the results of the race so why would I care what other job the announcer has. This is silly, this is a sport where the owners, trainers, and jockeys are fully allowed to bet AGAINST their own horses. If we want to talk about conflict of interest isn't that the big one?

I'm almost positive that Richard Grunder has Willie Martinez's book in Tampa. Bigs can verify.

Conflict of Interest? Would an example of that be when threads about certain people get closed, and threads about others don't get closed?

Quite a day for Vic & Joel
