sh*t, I'm in the great state of f'n Missouri, and we can even bet on the horses as the rest of the world allows, so I'm not even getting my hopes up for this...

any chance that Todd Schrup can get the "william wallace treatment" now that TVG is under English rule?

the first known instance of hanging, drawing and quartering. what a way to go....that movie sucked by the way.

i don't like the tvg show where the blond guy (name escapes me) wanders around the set while he blathers on about upcoming races. ugh.

it's not him, it's the format for that particular show.

Default Any Equine TV is good

Criticism comes easier than craftsmanship.

Any and ALL televised horse racing is a GOOD THING!

Sadly we get less and less televised racing on the networks. Where was the HD coverage of the Sunshine Millions this year? And the Breeder's Cup off the Networks and now on on ESPN for a smaller audience. Yet people complain about the coverage the sport does receive. Personally I'm praying Magna can keep their head above water so we can continue to get HRTV.

No doubt Ken Rudolph is not Jim McKay but I'm sure he appeals to those that are not very familiar with the sport we love. Yes I much rather listen to Jon White but novices have a much easier time getting into the sport listening to a Ken Rudolph type who is more about entertaining the casual race fan.

Matt C. is a good handicapper, but the rest of TVG could not pick a winner in a 1 horse race.
