This show would have improved if they would have gone to another track and used a whole new group of Jockeys.Plus,I disagree with the statement they keep making about 2 jockeys die every year on the track.
But I do hope Nak kicks Iggy's little ass!

the producers of the show do a really poor job and there are more commericals than actual running show time.

its un-watchable.

they could really make it a neat show for horse bettors....but they'd rather talk about the jockeys personal lives which is typical easy programming crap.

The song they play at the beginning is very cool. I like the show a lot but wish they would move their tack to NY to film it.

I like the show but I could do without the phoney Trevor calls and it would have been nice if they moved on to Del Mar or Hollywood Park.

But than they'd have to have sub-titles, I like it being here in LA, though I'm admittedly home court biased. I like the local group just fine.

you are right about the "reality" crap. why is there all the drama? we all bitch at each other in life, but thats "good" tv now. i want a professional outlook about jockeys. you are right its not that good for horse bettors. its too much big brother and flavor flav and all the other crap with manufactured whining. when i see what people love for tv, well face it. its not hard to see why we are in trouble.
