A question. Is there a/any female personality in racing, in the role of handicapping/tv commentary, etc. who, for their knowledge--absolutely not going on looks, wins approval here?

One who knows her business and consistently does a good job.

In NY, Jeanne Wood with the OTB channel is very good as well.
I only get to see her though during the month of August, while at Saratoga.

"you" is a generalization !!
I suggest you look up some of the threads............ I personally have very little respect for 90 percent of them. I also have little respect for drug users, dealers and those who break the law............... oh wait.........? maybe now we know why?

Jan Rushton knows her stuff as does Rene Kierens at Woodbine.

First of all, I have enough of a life that I don't feel like looking up your past threads.

Secondly, if you have such disdain for the athletes riding the animal you have bet on, then why are you betting?

And last of all, I'm sure that 90+% of them have little respect for you!
