Default Hickory Hill Hoff

Hickory from checking out your profile I guess you are who I thought you were.
Did you happen to catch the show on my "favorite network" on Saturday morning?
Just made me want to vomit and had me thinking of one of our prior discussions.
The "personality" on this show reviewed the Preakness and then tore into Alex Solis' ride aboard Brother Derek. Apparently this "personality" who gets paid to a televison show in which he is supposed to inform people watching about the world of racing was one of the few in his "business" not to be aware of the fact that Brother Derek had smashed his face in the gate and returned bleeding. This was known to most who follow racing. It certainly was the cause of the horses' rankness and weird race in which he ran in spots. I'm sure Hickory, that you yourself weer aware of this as a follower of Derby Trail.
I guess my question is, don't you think that someone being paid to do a job that involves critiquing races on a televison show should do enough homework and be aware of something that transpired a week ago in a major race?
I find this absolutely horrifying.
