Katie has a really great voice and is a smooth speaker. She has on occasion swapped the odds for the horses # etc., but I would much rather listen to her than anyone else and she doesn't do that pouty face hair-toss thing that Jessica P. did.

Figures...form over content.

I LISTEN to Wolfendale everyday NYRA races. Not only is her voice melodic and very pleasant, she has an excellent eye as previously postesd by blackthroated wind.

Maggie has not only a degree in communications and broadcast journalism but her father is a long time trainer. In addition to walking "hots" for her dad and then getting her trainer's license...she was an excercise rider too...rode in the am at NYRA. Can't beat that for getting a first hand report on a TB.

She has a very sharp eye and refers to the horse's prior condition in her paddock presentation.(if she saw the horse)

Sour grapes and jealousy here.
Not only is Maggie smart about TB's, she is very,very pretty. Much prettier in person than she appears on TV.
