Kurt Hoover is one of those guys that no one ever seems to say anything negative about. I have been watching and enjoying him for years. He used to do paddock commentary at Hollywood Park with Mike Willman. What an outstanding complimentary pair those 2 were working together. They also teamed up on the Thoroughbred LA radio show. Hoover has been very busy with his HRTV duties and isn't doing the radio show any more. Thoroughbred racing is lucky to have him. He is a very knowledgeable sports guy as well. We're lucky he hasn't been scooped up by ESPN. He would be a natural on Sportscenter. In fact, I might actually watch Sportscenter if he was on it. It's amazing watching him on HRTV, that no matter who he is teamed up with, it just works. I think he just puts everyone at ease. With some of the other teams, there is not always the same kind of chemistry.

I was waiting for him to slip up and use "I" instead of "He."
