If they go higher, the complexion of who races there changes... it becomes more competitive, at which point, field size and other factors start to come into play. They've found an excellent balance with their racing program.

Welcome back we missed the town drunk. Nobody was entertained including your co host who in all likelihood was apalled by your ridiculous comments.
You picked on Beyer why? because he wrote a positive article on TB? or because he accurately suggested the races need to be timed correctly? maybe it was his comments on the race caller who in all fairness screws up so much it is embarassing.

I'm a racecaller. I will ALWAYS have the back of a fellow racecaller. Period.

If NOBODY was entertained then we did a poor job. Will try to better next time.

Perhaps you could call him and help him with the tough names like ED, JIM, BILL, JANE, and VIC.

I have typically liked your work at TVG but picking on Beyer because he accurately repped a stumble bum "race caller"(not the person) doesnt have the entertainment value you seem to suggest. In fact all you did was stick your nutz on the line for a race caller, if you think that will endear you to the race community g-d bless..

While admirable to defend a fellow race caller, the way you did it was asinine and juvenile.

Finally someone gets it. Asanine and juvenile is a little harsh but inflamatory and a bit much is cool. Again I must reiterate that it's TV. I have known Andy for 30 years. I like and respect him. It pissed me off that he had to pick on Richard and I reacted. This isn't espionage it's just horseracing.

Well, I wouldn't call it picking on him. It was well thought out and fit with the article. I guess since there really was nothing to attack in the article, you made up stuff about his betting and knocked his horse of the year pick, the very one you agreed with right here on DT. That makes sense.

I actually love Vic's race calls..I am in the minority but who cares I really do like his calls. The crap he pulled today on TVG is inexcusable.

Byk takes issue with people in the game all the time and does it professionally and it can be plenty entertaining.

He didn't "pick on" Grunder; he wrote a column about the track at which he butchers calls of races, and reasonably, the simulcast aspect of the track was mentioned.
Journalism? Are you serious? It's a fun show designed to toss jabs back and forth and talk horseracing.

I didn't say he was a bad person I just kidded him about betting and HOY. Btw I decided to change my vote to Zenyatta when no one could actually tell me what the criteria was for HOY.

I didn't do anything that any one of you have also done when just sitting around and busting each others balls.

I remember now why I took the DT hiatus.

Back to the dungeon.

I'll be watching and reading.

Cheers.

There wasn't a group of people sitting around busting balls.....it was you taking lame shots at someone who wasn't there.

The laughter you seem to be hearing is only an echo of you laughing at your own jokes.
