Ha Ha - I was just about to post something about this! I really think he is in on the joke and intentionally trying to mention him as often as possible. He came out swinging!!

I can't listen to him anymore until POTN loses. I think he's up to 13 in 10 minutes, wait he mentioned him twice since I started writing, 15

Does it count when he calls POTN "Point Given" by mistake?

I think after POTN runs up the track on Saturday, next Tuesday's JW segment will be the most listened to segment in ATR history. I know I'll be tuned in.

I had to turn it off after about 2 1/2 minutes, I couldn't take it anymore. Is it safe to tune back in?

Default John White
Guys and Gals, i know i'm in the minority here but i think John is right-on with his picks.Garrett Gomez, and his agent both decided Potn over Dunkirk, with the supposely upside in dunkirk's favor, they must know something to take this choice for GG's first Derby Win.

i think you're giving the jock and his agent too much credit. if GG was that good at picking his ride, he'd have won a derby before now....

we've all seen jocks go one way rather than another-how often are they right? i'm thinking garrett went with the trainer he will deal with more often throughout the year...and don't forget where this years bc is located-or which horse has shown an affinity for that surface.

Its not the pick I can't stand........Its the five minute run-on sentence professing his love for POTN. Until this man crush started I really enjoyed JW's segments.

I will admit he's a little over the top with POTN, but he gives so many points on other horses it does make you think , and he seems to always have thought out any opinions he has right or wrong and compares them to picks or races similar in the past he has made or watched,i love the guy, and when my wife is with me out on a trip she loves him, his soft-spoken voice puts her to sleep ..lol

I would have lost the over/under on each of these numbers.

To each his own. Genius is a word that's tossed around quite a bit these days.

You don't think the ATR segment will be the most listened to?
