several thoughts and questions:
To me, the trainer appears to have a Julio Canani personality based upon
the interviews with this trainer on TVG.
Couldn't help chuckling on the plug for the TVG wagering site by one
of the pick 6 syndicate members, who should have a bookie based
upon his style and his companions. I presume Mr. Milch is a fan
of TVG as this plug made little sense.
Where was Chantal? Is she the stable "jock"? I never heard
her name(Mario Racuzzo),but I've Tivo'd the program and WILL
use captioned titles as much of the dialogue was difficult to hear without
waking my neighbors.
Henry Bronchtein ,one of the unit production managers was
a co/producer of the Sopranos.
Takeaway from this show is great acting with known and
unknown actors including the incredible work done with the
thoroughbreds.
That said, this production is presenting a dark picture of the of racing, which unfortunately benchmarks the rants of PETA and much of
the general public who believe most races are controlled by jockeys
and/or nefarious owners.
I would hope /"bet" Santa Anita officials allowed their track to be the host
facility as this show should ultimately present positive points about thoroughbred racing.
However, I have many times been wrong in Steward inquiries eapecially
on the west coast.
