Update: Vic has already worked for TVG so in order for him to qualify for the new thread we will have to include Iggy Puglisi and a booster seat.

Wasn't Vic already a member of the cast for a few days and then just disappeared.

Jeez, I forgot about Ken Rudolph. He looked like a guy they picked off a local TV weathercast and just jammed into horse racing.

I'm glad we all can vent. Venting is therapeutic.

I miss HRTV. I paid extra for it and it was the best horse racing TV I've ever had.

I loved Hoover, Brad Free, Jon White, Aaron and Jeff. Good stuff.I met Millie Ball and Zoe out at SA and what nice people, and smart.

I can't stand TVG. Christina Blacker is like fingernails on a blackboard.

I like that Lo Duca is a nitwit. If he is betting, he's going to end up broke. I certainly am not going there with him. If I'm going to end up broke, I don't want it to be because I followed a 4 time All Star nitwit. I want it to be because I was a nitwit.

We are all nitwits in this game on a regular basis anyone who thinks otherwise is usually hanging out in the safety of the paddock. Stop by the selections thread sometime and show us how much better then than a Nitwit you are. We are always looking to learn.

Say what you want about LoDuca. He is willing to put his picks out there and share his opinion and passion. I respect that. It's easy to criticize from the bleachers. Nobody is telling you to play them

The tout I worry about the most on TVG is Mike Joyce. For years I thought he was one cliche away from going full Patrick Bateman.

That blinking does make me nervous. Somewhat unsettling.

I'm not giving my selections, you have 4 time All Star Paul Lo Duca for that.

I'm into horse racing to win. I have to win. If I lose, my whole family will call me a degenerate gambler. The only way I can keep doing something I love is to win.

He had to announce a race recently when the regular track announcer wasn't piping thru the feed. I'm not sure what he was doing, some kind of Scottish accent maybe, but it was hilarious.

I think I bought some coins from him, or maybe it was that non-stick pan or the hose.

Ripping anyone's public selections isn't constructive even if you post your own.
Paul L. can be factually incorrect at times (past races and/or horses etc.), needs improvement in that area and often is corrected on air.
TVG is so much improved over the last year with the additions they've made.

I look at what Betfair has done and they've sold 2 historic tracks and have introduced wagering that several English jockeys have said encourages race fixing and corruption. Oh well, it's all ok then. Betfair is a plague. Nothing but damage to the industry. TVG wiĺl be gone soon, unless we keep buying coins, pans and hoses.

Good riddance. I'm stuck betting them in PA. Horrifying. I can't say enough of how bad I think TVG is. I'm perfectly happy watching nyra.com all day. Jf I didn't have terrible laws, I'd bet with them.

If you want to like them, go ahead. I think they are a bunch of shady British carpetbaggers. I'd like to kick them as far as I can.

If you say it's improved, how bad was it before ? I can't even get on nyra.com today, total buffoonery. I end up on TVG and they switch me from the paddock at SAR to a $5000 Claimer at MTH with this guy shilling me a Pick 4 ticket.

I don't think there is an ounce of common sense left in this world.

I feel like a stranger in a strange land.
