I could totally see them at the Derby, actually, critiquing the fashion. Not the BC though.

they should consider bringing Jenny and the team from Hong Kong over to do the whole pre race show.

I'm sure that would be a huge ratings boost.

But still, sick of Collmus. Who strikes me as merely technically sound but with no "there" there, like a Durkin or Wrona.

Actually you won't be hearing Denman on track at Santa Anita. The Breeders Cup takes over the running of Santa Anita that day and Collmus will be calling the races both live on track and on TV.

They did that on the Kentucky Derby/Oaks Coverage this year

that wasn't the case last year. You could hear trevor on track and on track feed and LC was only on NBC feed. has that changed? Cause I don't think Larry is the Breeders' Cup caller...i think he's the NBC caller

Yeah, definitely had Trevor on track last year.

Whatever happened to John McCririck (Mutton Chops)??

McCririck wore out his welcome in the UK. That schtick only goes so far.

Olczyk will be great. He is the epitome of the kind of guy that you want to spend a day at the track with. Knowledgeable, personable and he should appeal to all ages.
