The industry as a whole is failing miserably with on-air talent and that includes the on-track feed analysts outside of NYRA.

If the intent is to have moderately attractive young women as analysts then they need to do a better job of making me stop thinking that these women slept their way into the position.

I'm not going to name names. That wouldn't be fair to those involved and I wouldn't have any ground to stand on...

You can have the best on air talent in the world, if you choose not to show the races, what difference does it really make?

On-air trainer interviews of a 15/1 shot by phone, in race #2, of a quarter horse race on a Saturday afternoon.

TVG is in fine form.

They won't be in business long if this keeps up. NYRA has to love this though.
