The majority of them on the two channels are horrible for television. Absolutely horrible. There might be two who could do the Sunday Night news for NBC if 10 anchors tragically died.

Siegel is a sharp guy but has a voice fit for a newspaper.

Same with the Derby Einstein. He could put a methhead to sleep.

Aloe Vera Cruz sounds like he wants to try and self-fellate himself.

TVG

Greg Wolf is basically their Michael J. Fox with no talent. The 45 year old guy that never ages. Yes Greg...we know you went to UCLA. D'awesome.

The British guy who looks like the love child of Ian Ziering and the Electric Mayhem Muppet Janice is unbearable.

About the only one I enjoy watching is Mr. B. My impersonation is pretty spot on now. I've been wondering if he's gone in for a sleep study. I think the lack of energy and mumbling could be due to a lack of REM.

When he is on TV is when he is doing his sleep study.

I agree with Mr. B but think that he doesn't reach out to those "new" players.

TVG is hands down the best-produced racing product on air. HRTV has some very sharp analysts, Peter Laurie and Jeff Seigel to name two, but for whatever reason, their broadcast - at least for me - doesn't flow or translate....It's difficult to watch when they are talking about one race, showing the post parade for a completely different track, and posting odds on the bottom of the screen - in large type, yet it's really for another different track.

Aaron Veracruz takes a LOT of getting used to, but is pretty dam sharp, and the program he does in the mornings with Jeff Seigel is one of the more informative shows available.
