I'm sure I've done the same many times, just not on TV.

He handled it tactfully, said he misspoke, I'm absolutely certain he got some
alerting emails. No aspersions toward this website.

Perloff is the cream of the crop at TVG, in my opinion.

This thread is a little misleading because the discussion Rich was having on TVG yesterday pertained to the percentage of winning favorites in Harness Racing. And the favorites do win at a higher percentage in harness racing than they used to, and it has nothing to do with field size.

Guy is NOT good. He also stated a couple months ago that takeout doesnt matter either. I think he must have some blackmale pics on someone at the network to keep his gig.

He was also talking about t-breds. There are two different arguments. Nobody said that declining field size is the reason that favorites win at a higher rate. There are many factors in both sports. However, if field size does in fact decline, it is a certainty that the percentage of winning favorites will go up as well.
He also stated that the percentage of winning favorites is 33%. We all know that clearly isn't the case any longer.

I hope you are joking here...
Nobody on TVG could take over Perloff's spot on mondays and tuesdays and be able to keep anyone's attention for longer than 5 minutes.
Even when I disagree with the guy...I can't help but like him, and his demeanor.

To each their own but he puts me to sleep faster than a lazy slow sunday afternoon of golf.

I like him, too.
He is the only reason I ever watch racing TV on a Mon/Tues - two days when I seldom bet.

I've mentioned it before, I like to listen to him at noon when I am at lunch. I think he does a good job of bringing the game to people who may not have as much experience - far cry from the three stooges shows TVG features later in the day. I would quaff a few with him at Toga.
All right, I would quaff a few with anyone at Toga.

My sentiments exactly.
I thunk RP is easy to listen to & to understand. He is not a clown with a gimmick like most of the other TVG'ers. I'd rather see him on HRTV where he could at least cover tracks that people really care about.

I think Rich does a great job and I particularly look forward to his Monday/Tuesday morning shows.

There is a reason Rich is on monday/tuesday instead of sat-sun. He is not exciting enough or hip enough to keep the younger viewers attn on weekends but certainly does well catering to the 50 yr old plus viewer he gets early in the week. Think we'll ever see rich on the quarters or the late double? I venture to say no way.
