I like Ms Eurton quite a bit but for somebody raised on the backstretch she offers very little in the way of Bonnie Ledbetter type body language insights that I need.

There's a bunch of em, Christina, Acacia, Maggie, Caton, and I'm sorry but I'd have to rate Brittany at the bottom of the list when it comes to paddock intel.

But, as far as everything else she is top notch and deserves to take this next step up her career ladder.

Godspeed.

Rich is their best analyst, but the move to those shiny, new, sports-betting hires probably means anyone with a touch of grey in their hair has their time on-air is being culled. :(
Sucks.

He was the only handicapper I could listen to, always informative, a bit testy now and then but never mean.

I hate Fandrool.

I'm pretty sure most of us (and maybe lots of the TVG folks) hate Fandrool. Pretty telling that several of us dubbed them 'Fandrool' at the same time.
I mean...really...it just writes itself, doesn't it? :twisted:

Maybe stuff like this is why some people could be wanting to exit stage left at Fandrool.

Is anyone else having problems viewing Fandrool's programming right now?
I'm getting a "Satellite Signal Issue" message on my tv, which can happen in an intense rainstorm, but it's sunny. And all my other channels are fine. Seems strictly a Fandrool signal loss.

Yep. And I really hope I don't have to get on the phone to them. :?
Just the thought of navigating through all the heavy accents until I can find someone who can 1) actually help me, and 2) who I can understand raises my blood pressure.

The channel is back this morning. I have no idea why it was out, but suspect there were problems with the Fanduel signal source.

She’s with NBC Sports writ large. They put whatever sports broadcasting, such as racing, on CNBC, USA, etc.

25 years of being obnoxious. The old TVG Forum folks decided Toad had blackmail material on the TVG powers-that-be to explain his continued employment.
I guess he has some on the FanDrool suits, as well. :twisted:

Did FanDrool's Caleb just say Dortmund is standing in Maryland? :o
Dortmund was sold to Korea...and then DIED at 10 in 2022.
Fandrool analysts can't keep horses who have been dead for TWO YEARS straight in their heads. Ugh.
