Seriously Does this guy Watch the races?

[Elgin]

The question is, why has Gural chosen to show Brower the door and relegate Holly to a part-time role, while elevating Darin and Wendy Ross? For all the griping folks did about Dave, he handled the handicapping part of the job pretty well, and his upbeat on-air persona topped Darin

[The Giss]

Wendy worked for Gural previously and is being rewarded. Hollywood and Brower were "Manning'ed," if you will.
She was an intern with Bianconi and me and knows her stuff...she just needs to relax and slow down.
As to the ML and picks, as someone who has done both on occasion, it is easy to divorce the two. A morning line IS NOT AND IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE handicapping. It is a prediction of the off odds (or as some would say a prediction of the relationship of the off-time odds to each other). The ML is "handicapping the public's decisions."
As to missing stuff, ask Ayers (and I agree) we all miss(ed) stuff or transpose horses in our notes for program comments. Ayers and Darin at least have the excuse of calling the race, so they may not be concentrating on their future comments. Mine was usually having Winthrop +5 against UNC-Asheville.

fanbase?  I can see being friends with people on a forum but not a fan of them.

What? 


I need a moment to myself.

Darrin is a good guy.

Everyone has opinions. Some love luck the show some hate it.

Maybe his presentation is a bit lacking now. But Remember he just starting.

Everyone and everything starts sometime and somewhere.
And they get better usually.

I never really cared for Browers selections and comments.
although when I met him and spoke to him he was a good guy.

All opinions. But Darrin is a nice guy and in general people like him are good for the sport.

  don't worry he has 2 broken arms for patting himself on the back for nothing

[pezz97]

Are you actually telling someone not to bash someone ? You're a bigger jackoff then I thought.

Maybe Pezz  can post his home address or phone number or other places of employment ? 

only a scumbag like him would do that.

Let's not trash the site.

This might be the most hysterically hypocritical statement ever made here.

[beans and weenies]

Probably Sticking my neck out to get plastered with eggs........................................................but I like Wendy's handicapping.              but then of course i suck at gambling anyway.   

[Elgin]

Wendy can't go wrong: by the time she finishes her stream of consciousness spiel, she's picked every horse in the race.

The ML is "handicapping the public's decisions."

The ML guy hates a horse and thinks he should be at least 10-1.

But he also feels the public will love this horse and makes him the ML favorite.

Is that how it works?

We know 2 people who have done that and calling either a scumbag would definitely complement them.

I do enjoy watching this leopard try to change his spots to fit in here tho. 

I know one place he does fit in though perfectly and I wish he'd stay there.

I agree Beans  She seems just as good as anyone else I've ever heard capping. So if the eggs

start flying stand behind me they'll never touch you

  people with a brain that actually works know that the leopard will never change his spots and is a total piece of shit

And I love it when a dumbass thinks he's clever, and the only one in the room who thinks that is him.

That is how it is supposed to work, yes.
