![]() Watched both episodes. MEHHHHHH. Sorry don't like it at all. I was contemplating putting cholula in my eyes when the gamblers were on screen.
And what's with the pro-America nonsense in both episodes? Like there isn't horse racing anywhere else. Boo. |

Examples being Turo Escalante- immigrant who goes from selling carrots to top horse trainer. The jockeys, the gamblers, and I imagine Ace are going to be from humble beginnings as well. Think Horatio Alger more than Reagan. |

![]() Just watched the pilot. A gritty episode set against the beauty of Santa Anita. My late friend used to say that the track is a Disneyland for adults. I found it fascinating and can't wait for more.

Makes me think of the old saying, "Behind every great fortune, there's a great crime." And I guess the season will end just in time for Game of Thrones, so win all around.

![]() I just watched the 2nd episode and thought is was TERRIFIC. In this kind of format it takes more than a few shows to establish and get to know characters. By the end of the first season and into next year I think this show is going to be a huge hit. Hope so!!

It's a show with aging stars and an obvious disdain for the average bettor. It's not acceptable. |
