Everyday we hear from guys who have written books on handicapping or guys employeed by racetracks etc. They are typically great listens and take their WORK extremely seriously. I really hope some of the "PLENTY" of gamblers can get on the air and tell us what it is like to grab the DRF each day and hope that a paycheck is to be had. Talk about great radio, that would be awesome the daily life of a professional horse gamblier who beats the takeout for 100plusk a year

I'll see who might be willing to come on. You aren't talking about people whose behavior is generally of a publicity seeking nature.

Thank you Frederick, but as I said the other day, if the Bobby Frankel Tribute didn't garner it in '09, I don't think there's anything I can do that will. Didn't even submit an entry for '10.

Do a Zenyatta tribute show. Have Haskin, John White, Hovdey, Ellen Parker, Sheriffs, Joe Drape, etc. Not only will you win the Eclipse, you may get to host them. Just remember to make liberal use of the "cough" button throughout the show.

I have always been intrigued by the stories of the cats who decide to make a living at this game, or gambling in general. The stories they could tell. Would make a fascinating book, a collection of stories from cats who made the decision to pursue it.

That would be a great show. I would think purely on a $/hour bases it would end up more profitable wearing an orange or blue apron for most.
