having announced that the big story of the day is calvin gretting in a fight, they are not going to let anyone forget it for more than 5 minutes.
very classy to ask him about it in the post parade too, and follow that up by talking to him after the race
Hank Goldberg's making me want to rip my hair out. Good lord, why are we continually subjected to him?
One of the great mysteries of life as far as I'm concerned.Originally Posted by Citation07
It was totally predictable they wouldn't let the Borel story go (and CD is helping out there -- security guards, really???) -- but I was tired of it after the second race.

It's still better than be subjected to TVZ......just sayin'

I don't care about the announcers, but I'm sick of hearing about the lights. How about we talk about some horses, I didn't tune in to hear about lights.
Questing to find out who the best 3 year old in the country is.

Wow, 2 hours til we got an 'ESPN sucks' thread. Potentially a new record? But in a few years, when ESPN opts to not renew its BC contract, the same people will whine that they either have to watch the event on their computer, or have to pay to get HRTV or TVG.
Sometimes, you just can't win.
Well there's lots of smart ideas in books I've never read, when the girls come talk to me I wish to hell I had
and...now my track feed is gone
He must have some major dirt on someone to keep this job. He can't even form a sentence.
the under the lights actually is kinda cool now that i see it first hand.
And at ~7:09, they finally mention Blind Luck.

Midget fighting is on after the BC.

i love the hd, but tou can tell their camera people are not horse people, the angles they are given and cutting to hank and company middle of pst parade, ah. so i'm watching the track feed for good and just switching over to watch hdtv live race. i'm going to stick with that format from here on out. plus this track feed music is catchy
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was working for nyra on the day of the belmont stakes and these 3 guys heckled Goldberg. they were like "hey greenberg you ****ing suck you havent got a winner all day your only on the air cause of kenny mayne" Goldberg:"oh yea? really?(with a pissed off look)" lmao i felt bad for him but hey he hasn't won big in a while
The sad part is, and I'm not a TVG guy by any means, but they absolutely freaking KILLED it on the track feed today. I mean, freaking bravo TVG. Top notch. Perfect blind of get out of my way, tell me something I want need to know, but not too hard core so that the avg fan has no clue what you are talking about. if I were ESPN I would outsource horse racing to HRTV and TVG. At Monmouth they had lafit doing the trophy presentations and Carolyn was on set. In 08 they had Jessica P as an analyst.
Why is TVG doing the track feed for a CDI owned track, when HRTV can't even show the freaking post parades is beyond me however. That was odd. But still.
If possible, seriously, do what I am doing now, and just sticking to Track feed then switch to ESPN for the race in HD, then switch back.
Speaking of which, where is his counterpart - Muttonchops?
He's on NBC's broadcasts...thank god.
soldat is not going to win cause hank picked him
to give the guys some credit, they said that they did notify the stewards last night as to what johnny v told them ..so in that case i would say the stewards suck
My feelings about ESPN are mixed.
I don't understand why they use Goldberg.
I like Muttonchops ....
