And Keeneland, Saratoga, Del Mar, etc. are exactly Charles Town on a Tuesday night.

Don't get you're point Fred... I've stayed out of the discussion because I don't think this show will bring 1 person to, or lose 1 person from the track. Nor will it change anyone's perception of the sport in general - it's a non issue.

As far as the "typical" stereotypes - the old adage that "stereotypes exist, because they're true" may be what they're are trying to go for - I've highlighted 4 of them in my previous post - that's the only point I made.

There are a tons of normal, well adjusted, intelligent folks on here and at the track. Of course a story about them would be the epitome of boring.

I'm not judging the entire series on one episode - The pilot was horrendous in my opinion, not because of they chose to exploit these stereotypes, but because it just flat out sucked.
