agreed
 
amoss had his day too bye bye.

give me more deluca, very good from a betting angle

there should not be race run w/o maggie or mig either in the booth or the paddock. they are that good and let you know when they are not just filling time . and they really like something. i spent five years on track and never learned 10% of what i have learned listening to those two about the physical aspect of watching horses'

i have watched the new one Sara and think she has quite a bit of potential.

why the need to bring in "outsiders" for the big shows? the first fox network show of the year was horrid why? cause they brought in clones of the nbc shows. is your target audience someone who'll watch 2 hours to see the hats????

I would venture that 0% of those people turning to Fox Sports on a Thursday Afternoon to watch Horse Racing. It has a place really only First Saturday in May. They need to "Read the room"

I dont find Stevens interesting. He brings name recognition to a national audience. If you are in the Executive Producer's shoes, you can't afford all the talent to be devoid of a brand. It takes many hours to fill an immense amount of work quickly. Who is out there has a brand name and knows how to integrate with a 5-plus hour telecast? I am sure a few aren't employed, but it isn't a huge list. He is dreadful. As for me, I like Frank Lyons, who is on the show from time to time. He is in the bag half the time and picks the 3/5 shot all the time, but he is at least entertaining.
