Default Lo Duca
I had 2 SA friends call tonight and tell me Paul Lo Duca is coming to work for NYRA. I'm dubious. His agent says he is coming back to NY. All kinds of rumors. I'm thinking he works for Mets or on morning show. Maybe replace Mike Francesa.

Something is up. Nobody quits TVG.

Default And now it's time for Andeeee and Ladoooka
Can't wait to hear lil Andy say 4 time major league all star 8 or nine times a day
It seems like a good fit though. LoDuca speaks the truth. He also is a great turf handicapper. If he is on his game, and the other guy gets back to picking clever winners, it could be a good summer for the faithful followers (alliteration) of talking hosses

While Lo Duca strikes me as a great guy and a good TV personality, he doesn't figure to be the type that would put in the level of work necessary to hang with Andy.

Save Nick, Travis,David and Beer who does? If I am running NYRA TV(thank goodness I am not) I dont even consider that as part of equation. It's TV and while it needs to be informative it needs to be entertaining as well. If you havent been entertained and educated watching Frank and Andy you have missed some great topically and fun TV. If FMO was running things I would hire Frank and Travis to split calling races and Talking horses year round, and have special guest appearances from Beer , Nick and David on weekends etc. Nothing against Larry but Frank and Travis are duel threats and extremely versatile.

You beat me to it...but to add further to the discussion.

TVG guys are given a list of races and tracks that will be covered over a set period of time, often with the goal to provide insight into all of them, sometimes there are 30-40 races in the time period.

It takes a substantial amount of time to keep up with one track and just to have knowledge to comment about the entire country, or even worlds racing is not easy, but there is no way that any of those guys could do enough work to provide the level of detail Andy does on the NYRA circuit. Its comparing apples and oranges.
