Did anyone let them know there are excercise riders who are not jockeys are out every morning trying everything from schooling babies at the gate to seeing how a horse will react to a whip for the first time? And I wouldn't want Kayla walking my dog.
I'll try to give it a chance but with all the commercials... You know most new shows don't have many commericals. They want you to watch - then slowly increase the ads but it seemed like the show segments were as long as a race and the commercials ridiculous. Without commercials I imagine the show is only 15 minutes long, if that. Animal Planet is on cable. You sorta have to pay to watch it.

How many races did they record before they got Corey getting hurt? or was that re-created like the horse calls?

I'm thinking people that are fans of the sport will get very little insight.

I think reality TV shows suck.
