Default Make it stop...please please, stop singing...

It's my own fault for wanting more horse racing on tv. Fox Sports South's showing their hour of TVG, and I think I must have it bad because I haven't changed the channel.

One more round of "name drops keep fallin' on my head" and I think I might lose it. While we're at it, could they refrain from verbal pats on the head to the women explaining that they can actually read a weather report? The peroxide didn't damage braincells to the extent that she doesn't know weather prediction when she sees it.

As horribly wrong as Michelle Yu was about almost everything she said in the 15 mintues I caught of her debut in the "TVG Handicapsle" ... I would take having to listen to how Giacomo won the Haskell in between some sweet cleavage shots and a Justin Dew call-in ... over what TVG typically offers.

At least Michelle had some strong opinions .. and it was fun listening to her knock Afleet Alex. It's the first time I ever remember a seriously good horse getting called "way overrated" and getting tore up by a TVG talking head. Tore up badly, but still. A for effort ... A+ for clevage.

What did she say about Afleet Alex? I'm glad I didn't listen, I would have been infuriated.

I determined that the only thing worse than watching TVG is listening to it on Sirius.

She went on pretty good with it ... but basically, if he really was a good horse he would have won that Kentucky Derby. He was way overrated and "I DID NOT like him. Sorry" ... she got herself in a little trouble by trying to defend Giacomo though. He obviously never won the Haskell.

I heard part of this on the radio and it was truely dreadful. Her comments on harness racing were beyond laughable as well.

Tell ya what's been overrated for a long time. That jock on the back of Afleet Alex. If you ever use that individual, you better be best by a lot. There are jocks that have a knack of getting horses to "run for them." That person isn't one of them. Better have the horse.

would you rather look at carother's while you get bad picks or yu?

it's a simple choice.

i find TVG more enjoyable with the sound turned off unless i see boobs on the screen.

also...i saw c. oliveres at monmouth and she looks great too.

how about a bikini handicapping challenge? one at monmouth and one at del mar?
