Richard Perloff is a true handicapper.

I think Rich does a great job overall but particularly on his Monday/Tuesday shows. He is good at making the viewer feel that we are kindred spirits all out at the track together. We feel a sense of camaraderie. This is actually difficult to do and requires a lot of skill. You're talking about taking people spread out all over North America and shrinking them down together into a small space. Easier said than done.

It's like when you see a great performer in a large arena. When I saw Sinatra in the Nassau Col. years ago, there were over 20,000 people there but Sinatra made me feel like I was sitting in a much more intimate setting in a small theater because he had a way of connecting to his audience. I felt the same way when I saw Paul McCartney about 10 years ago.

Well said Pandy,my thought's exactly.
If you have been around this sport long enough, you definately know Perloff is one of us.

Marshall, why is he such a good teacher?... and I'm not saying that in a combatitive way... I just want to know your opinion.
Teacher? While his time on-air can be educational I never considered him a teacher. An example of what I meant in my post might be lead changes or class definition. While most of us know it all well by now, Rich is willing to take an email on such and explain to those new to horse racing.
You obviously don't like him so nothing I say will change that...not to be "combative" or "combatitive" as you say.

I think all the TVG shows would improve if they limited them to one talking head.

Most of them are too immature to not act like children when they get together. A couple of them actually seem to know what they are talking about, but would rather play giggles with the other hosts.

I spent Tuesday night betting on Mountaineer while listening to Gino on TVG.

I got a headache for the first time in years...but I don't know whether Mountaineer or Gino was to blame...

Perhaps the combination of the two...

If your going to listen to anyone while playing MNR, I would suggest Mark and Nancy.

With all this said... Pari-Mutuels are fueled by people with disagreements, so naturally its rare we agree on much.

Okay...he's just a callous whiner, and a bit prickly at times.

My bad
