One thing that TVG has over HRTV...... - Trackchampion Handicapping Contests For Horse Bettors

DGC78 · 04-07-2008, 04:15 PM

Is their women hosts. Christina Olivares needs no introduction and Nancy Ury isn't bad, where as Carolyn Conley and Joanne Jones both look like they were hit by the same bus.

This should probably be in off topic, but I'd figure that I'd say something positive about TVG for once.

excellent point. advantage tvg. hrtv had christina in its infancy but foolishly let her slip away. easy on the eyes and not annoyingly opinionated. everything a host should be. save the opinions for the local feeds like the mountaineer show where mountainmans information and opinions make the show.when i see and hear joanne jones i just want to take a gigantic mallet and whack my head continously until she shuts up.

A fat annoying guy who calls himself the Sarge, and isn't afraid to say "F*CK on live TV?

I remember Christina layed out some wild $24 p3 at Philly one time. She used 9 horses. All 3 races combined had 17 or 18 horses. I kept wondering if there was even 1 combination that would pay $24. After starting with a 4/5 I knew she couldn't make money. I felt so bad for her I was hoping she lost so she wouldn't be embarrassed. She won about $16.00. Someone needed to spank her with Nancy's paddle.

They don't have Joyce, Onaka, Weaver. The quarters.

I'm still laughing from this statement.

He plays a perfect role to Weaver & Joyce's hilarious role. If you watch this show(which it appears that you don't) you would see how idiotic that you sound. Onaka is perfect for the quarters. If you have a show about the quarters, you should have people that know exactly what there talking about, rather than having Chris Kotulak get on there.

Despise seems a little much don't you think? Here's a guy that puts his heart and soul into everything he does. Conducts himself both on and off camera as a consumate professional and loves his sport and much as anyone I've ever seen.

Wouldn't it be great if everyone cared about excellence in thier job like Les does in his? I know it sure would be for me!

Obviously you're entitled to your opinion. I respect that.

I'm just sick of all the haters.

Sheesh! Enough already!!!

That show should be a model for what TVG puts on. Onaka is the perfect by the book/quarter horse guru guy. Weaver also knows his stuff, but no one ever knows what he might do at any given moment. Last, but not least, Mike Joyce is the perfect host because he can be a smart aleck at times and isn't afraid to throw his two cents in. Case in point, when Les and Dave had their "whoever picks the fewest winners gets hit with a pie" contest and it turned out that both guys whacked each other at the end of the show because they tied, I probably laughed for about 10 minutes.

Wolf and Baedeker come close at times, but as you and I have said before, The Quarters is a standout.

And Vic, it's sucks in a way that you have to head back down south for the upcoming Hollywood meet. You've done a fantastic job over at Bay Meadows for what sadly appears to be their final meet.

Les O is definitely a major plus for TVG. There isn't anyone on that network that does more homework. He's your consummate trip handicapper and knows the sport inside out. by the way, I think Carolyn Connelly's a babe. She just needs to ditch the frowns and smile more. And no female on either network--no one!!--holds a candle to Millie Ball.

Carolyn Connelly is 9 feet tall with giant man hands.

Pete,

That's an exaggeration and not nice. And I think that is incorrect.

I heard she is 17 hands.

Oops.....we at TVG did it again, instead of showing live racing at the Meadowlands we're going to give you last night's action at Los Al. Enjoy.
