The senseless dribble!!

[voucher]

Anyone watching AND listening to HRTV this morning??The derby analysis that JoAnne Jones has spewed out has got to be the biggest pile of senseless dribble I have ever heard.She basically has said War chance has no shot and she can't play him.Her horse is Elysium Fields,a recent maiden winner.This is the same JoAnne Jones who said,and I have it on TAPE,that she was done betting Funny Cide,then after he wins the derby,she had the nerve to say she picked this horse.A week later,she was gone from TVG.Where the F>>k do they get these idiots?

And she can't play him.

I don't mind her too much except when she starts raving about jockeys. she loves to talk about them and when she does she gets that twinkle in her eye like she has a thing for them............if you know anything about body language she comes off like she is in heat when she talks about a few of them

Nope.....NEICEotism. :lol:

It only looks that way because she is.:):)

She had Clinton Potts' baby last summer.

She'll have to hit a cold streak to descend to the level of, oh, Ken Rudolph, John White, Laffit "Dead Eyes" Pincay, Mr. Lurie (Peter ?), Todd Schrupp, and all the clowns that pick four or more runners per race. That's not even counting the "pagliacci" on the radio side. :faint:

[Grits]

My only thought........the woman needs to get her hair out of her eyes, rather that is, out of one eye. I cannot listen to anything anyone has to say, male or female, that has to peep out of their hair.

She was easier to watch when she was doing Gulfstream.

[Spectacular Sid]

I've seen senseless dribble in a basketball game but not at the races!

As the daughter of the self-proclaimed Pick Six King, PROFESSOR Gordon Jones, Joanne knows all the tricks and cons of the racetrack, including how to tout!

[bigmack]

What's dribble? It's drivel.

[46zilzal]

"Attending the pace," every other phrase is worse than drivel.

[bigmack]

Why isn't this one used more in racing?

pari passu

/parri passoo/

• adverb side by side; equally or equivalently. At an equal pace or rate.

— ORIGIN Latin, ‘with equal step’.

Joanne Jones: "The Vampiress"

[PaceAdvantage]

Why does anyone really care one way or the other? Unless you lost your job because of Joanne Jones, I don't see why such a vitriolic thread like this would be created.

She's there to fill time and give info. You either listen or you don't....

TV hosts are actually a Godsend to those good cappers playing from home as I think they generate an increased level of action above normal on their selections, thus creating overlays which is a + for those of us doing our own picking.

Why anyone would rely on, or care about, anothers picks is beyond me.

Exactly.

She’s a bright / attractive woman who an advocate for horse racing. We need far more…not less.

We can't get "drivel" right and you want "pari passu"? :)

I think I had "para paasu" for desert at an Italian Restaurant after too many glasses of wine the other night.

No Bigs, T-I-R-U-M-I-S-U. Tirumisu. Order it often when at Italian spots.

Also, your; no, you're. ;) Spelling lesson for the day.

Actually, I butchered it purposefully. Funny thing is, it's Tiramisu.

I agree with Dan on this, but I don't want to hear about a jockeys family lineage and how she used to know them when she was at Gulfstream. I even think she is a decent handicapper depending on where she is capping.........but I don't care about the jocks family. We have had these discussions many times. Many threads. I have very little respect for the jocks.

[cj's dad]

Why ? The ones I've talked to have been very much "down to earth" folks who are in a dangerous profession, and when their wives are present you can see the anxiety in their eyes, hoping for the best yet fearing the worst.

It amazes that when a horse wins and "you" have bet on him, you're the genius, but let a horse lose that "you" bet on and it's all the jockeys fault.

"you" is a generalization !!

[Doc]

Her preference for jockeys aside, I really can't stand listening to Joanne Jones because I think she has one of the worst voices ever for a television hostess ... like nails on a chalkboard to me. I always wondered how in the heck she got the job, even that broad Margo down at Tampa Bay Downs is better than her.

Used it in the securities business all the time. Good scrabble word...

[Grits]

A question. Is there a/any female personality in racing, in the role of handicapping/tv commentary, etc. who, for their knowledge--absolutely not going on looks, wins approval here?

One who knows her business and consistently does a good job.

[Marshall Bennett]

Jill Byrne

Jill Byrne

I agree, by far . . . the best.

In NY, Jeanne Wood with the OTB channel is very good as well.
I only get to see her though during the month of August, while at Saratoga.

Jill Byrne
BINGO!!! A Professional who knows her job very well!!

Right on........!

I suggest you look up some of the threads............ I personally have very little respect for 90 percent of them. I also have little respect for drug users, dealers and those who break the law............... oh wait.........? maybe now we know why?

Jan Rushton knows her stuff as does Rene Kierens at Woodbine.

First of all, I have enough of a life that I don't feel like looking up your past threads.

Secondly, if you have such disdain for the athletes riding the animal you have bet on, then why are you betting?

And last of all, I'm sure that 90+% of them have little respect for you!:lol:

Looks like she took your advice..JJ's hair is pulled back today...feel like Kojo at the oscar's with his fashion recap.

:lol: Oh my, too much.

hey, i'll take the Chick that does the FG.

I think she wants my pants.;)

[Marshall Bennett]

How about Jan Rushton ? Is she with anybody ?? :p

[toetoe]

I think they're single. :D

[eastie]

Jan Rushton's hats are worth tuning in to see every day. She is a class act all the way and knows her stuff. Clearly the best out there.

[Dave Schwartz]

She was way easier to watch when she was 25.
