Good question.

Does she happen to have a brain?

She must.....someone in Fred's family had to have gotten one. I've only met Freddy and his Dad.....so far 0 for 2.

Actually she is very smart, but she would have zero shot following Moss not that he isn't excellent just that his style is completely geared for someone with a racing base of knowledge.

Handicapping is incredibly complicated with a myriad of disciplines. How the heck is the average person who has a once or twice a year interest in racing going to be entertained by speed figs. pedigree info, trip evaluation, morning works, Jockey evaluation, track conditions, racetrack configs etc etc.. Its WAY to much for the twice a year fan.

John Madden did it with Football.

I am not sure that is a fair comparsion. The office pools for 5 bucks create a lot of average joe viewers. That all of a sudden have a interest on who wins, not to mention the immense illegal gambling. Plus there are only two teams one wins the other loses.

Moss is no Madden and unless you are going to yell BOOM when Lookin at Lucky slams into Ice Box then I don't see the comparsion. Actually in retrospect your Dunce Hat routine is exactly the type of silly yet veiwable act that people could relate too. My "sister" would watch if all of a sudden on a broadcast a guy was doing something silly and explained why..

What they need to do is pay Andy for his handicapping opinion and have Megan Fox relay the info.

Megan Fox is very attractive, Andy's opinion isn't, unless you like pain

How about that chick from New Orleans they got to do the Wood telecast this year?

She's relatively easy on the eye and could ad-lib away from Serlings material in a pinch, without looking completely dumb.

Pacheco? She could do topless post-race interviews I guess.

Well, yeah, obviously.

That would be great TV. A short jockey looking straight up into her boobs during a post race interview.

But what I was referring to was the suggestion of hiring some good looking chick to convey Serlings handicapping material live, on TV.

Why not Pacheco for that too?

Or you could have the cast of Jersey Shore take turns. The Situation giving Andy's analysis for the Derby would be good television.
