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.

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.

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 !!

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.
