I know feed can go down, but with that said that was the worse coverage I have ever seen of practically any sporting event ever. If I had a dollar for every time Tom looked down to read his notes, etc..
Gosh, they did Horse Racing no favors at all with that coverage. Cheap bs. Steve Byk, this is your calling man.

As I've mentioned before, I think I'm really well suited for what I'm doing currently. Even when I was doing Colgate hockey play-by-play, I never envisioned myself doing TV. The radio show, and its' 15 hours a week, provides a unique chance to grow new player/fan interest and generally promote the game. I like to think a lot of momentum has been built in the three years since the show came my way, and there's a lot more I would like for it to achieve yet. And honestly, there are many more accomplished guys out there than me for it including Andy, Jay Privman, Scott Hazleton and Laffit III and more.

Guys like Jeff Siegal, Kurt Hoover, and John White were HRTV's Shaq, Kobe, and Karl Malone to their Luke Walton. The worst thing about Laffit and Hazleton is that they're not bad. I like to listen to the guys who work hard and are real good .. and I sometimes like to listen to the ones who are horrible so I can laugh at them. If you're not going to work hard to be real good .. at least have the courtesy to be terrible.

That's what ladies said about Simon Bray until his hair started falling out.
People forget, but Simon Bray was a very damn good horse trainer. Absolutely one of the better ones in the entire country. He's a classic example of why horse trainers make terrible analysts.

From 2000 to 2002 he was 58-for-254 (23% wins) and had a great $2.82 ROI while training on a very tough year round circuit in So Cal. He was 7 for 21 in Graded Stakes races and won Grade 1 stakes with two different horses. I think you assume he was inept because you've listed to him talk on TVG.

At least Bethenny Frankel is probably a good cook.

When I was real young I used to get on my knees on the carpet and conduct harness races with my two hands. It sounds impossible ... but believe me .. I could pull off an 8 horse field with just two hands. Your left hand is always the pacer on the lead - your right hand becomes the horse who figures to go first over, but that one doesn't always end up being the first to move. Luckily, no one ever figured out what the hell I was doing when I was on the carpet harness racing my fingers. I used to play home run derby with my two hands in class all day. I'd hold my right thumb and right index together - making my right thumbnail the baseball. It would start out about two feet from my left hand. My left hand would have four fingers down making a fist - but my thumb sticking up in the air acting as the baseball bat. I'd throw the ball (right thumbnail) and hit it with the bat (left thumb) and depending upon how good it felt on contact I'd know if I hit a home run or not. Me doing this constantly drove the nun who taught the class absolutely apesh!t. Even more so than when I'd occasionally spit on the floor. One day, she gets my older brother out of his class and brings him in our classroom. I'm still oblivious and playing home run derby with my fingers. She says to him "your brother just sits back there and plays baseball with his fingers all day!" .. he told me that he shrugged and said to her "what do you want me to do about it?" The nun always threatened to hand cuff me to my desk but never followed through.

 For most of us listeners/members, you would be perfect, for the ordinary public, maybe a little too astute. Keep up the great work on the radio, thanks for all you do here as well.
