Understand that ESPN/ABC owns Tessitore, he is ESPN's choice to do this show, along with the morons they use as guests. This is not a choice of the BC or any horse racing people. He is normally a boxing guy, and has done a few other sports.

The deal is, ESPN is trying to draw viewers to their thoroughbred horse racing shows. By doing so, you had best make it attractive to the non-thoroughbred fan. Sell it any way you want, but viewership is the name of the game.
