Worst TV racing commentator/analyst ever!
 
We have a worst Jockey thread,so as I was watching HRTV today,I thought I would start one for the analyst's.Mine is Joanne Jones.This woman annoys me like no other.If there is an analyst who handicaps after the fact and has the guts to CLAIM it was her pick,it is her.I think she is only hired in hopes of attracting viewers because she looks halfway decent.
While she was at TVG,And I have this on tape,She was asked by Greg Wolf about Funny cide and if she liked him for the derby.This woman claimed up and down that she was through with Funny Cide,that there was no way he would win the derby.After he won,and I also have this one on tape,she was out there tooting her horn that Funny Cide was her choice for the derby and Preakness.I bombarded TVG with emails about this ,and how I thought this woman was a complete fraud and informed them of the past shows and the statements she had made about Funny Cide with dates and times of the shows.I never heard anything back about it from TVG,but needless to say,she soon left TVG for where she is now.I can't stand her!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not know this man's name! Last year during Derby week, he was a commentator for ESPN. I think he is a regular with them, but I do not think it is with horses. His voice grates on me; it was so bad during that week that I kept skipping his sections. He is nice-looking, in his late thirties or early forties. I am probably the only person in the 50 states annoyed by him.:confused:

Rules out Hank Goldberg

Almost all of them are bad with a few exceptions.

Even a liberal wouldn't be satisfied with the current level of quality of racings TV commentators

hank goldberg. he is a bad analyst, but the worst part about him is he is always completely unprepared when they ask him a question.

SCUDSBROTHER 03-08-2007 02:20 PM

I'd say that Clown, Ken Rudolph, is the worst. I still can't believe he asked the owners of Thor's Echo how much they got for him.

No offense to him, but Hank Goldberg really bothers me.

maybe because he is a slob?

hank always seems to be choking down a huge bite of twinkie without a drink to aid him when they cut to him. i keep thinking he's going to do a liz taylor w/ chicken bone impression or something. he just seems so uncomfortable.

i can't handle tom hammonds. he's always freaked me out a bit. maybe it's all the makeup. i think he cakes on more in a day then i've worn my entire life!

i always enjoyed jim mckay. now that guy did his job and did it well.
