Default "Favorite Simulcast Analyst"

They voted on this on some poll at thoroughbredtimes.com

You had 19 options....

The winner: Jill Byrne (730 votes)

2nd place: Mike Battaglia (671 votes)

3rd place: Kurt Hoover (264 votes)

4th place: Andy Serling (252 votes)

5th place: Katie Mikolay (210 votes)


Rich Ruda checked in 19th.

This list is pretty funny for a variety of reasons ....

If only Katie would learn the difference between Delta and Delaware - she might have outnodded two of the very best in Serling and Hoover.

I've got to wonder how those guys feel about getting totally trounced by Battaglia and barely edging out Mikolay.

This may be a sign that racing really is doomed.

Hard to believe Jessica P wasn't in the top 5. She's just about the only one that I don't mute.

(Good to see they're still real.)

Katie is better looking ... and is kind of like an 11 year old girl trapped in a hot young womans body.

There have been many times when I've fantasized about seeing Chuck C. Lopez strangling him to death on a Trips and Traps taping ... but yeah, he should have won.

A few other guys down on the list should have also had MUCH better showings.

This is what I imagine a BTW press confrence simulcasted in the Pace Advantage War Room would look like the day of him hitting a 24/1 longshot earlier on with his top pick...

The role of sports writer Dan Shaughnessy played by Light ... and the role of sportswriter Bob Ryan played by CMoore.

My favorite was always Dave "The Weasel" Robinson at Tucson greyhound park. Just googled him and sorry to see he passed away a few weeks ago. RIP. He had a catchy little tune, "pop goes the weasel" and always used hot chicks from local simulcast outlets to show his picks on TV.

had no clue to katie mikolay is, where does she announce at?

i got no problem with Byrne being #1, but pacheco has to be on that list somewhere.

another underrated or unknown is Dave Rodman from laurel park
