as his betting choice? Wasn't he concerned with "overlays" when he chose the
as his betting choice in the race?
As an on-air horse racing host, the man is a total joke, IMO...and it's a sad testament to the current state that our game finds itself in when someone with this sort of handicapping "knowledge" can get a job as the in-house "expert" in a major racing place like Santa Anita.
