Does Mig get the gig?
Gary Stevens @gstevens_jockey · 2h It’s with disappointment that after a phone call today from executives @thenyra due to cutbacks I won’t be back next season with #FS1 #FS2 or #FOX. So long and thanks. Merry Christmas.

He really wasn't very good in the booth. Next stop jockey's agent?

Agree with badactor. Bad in the booth. You knew what you had since way back in the hrtv days and he never improved. He's a former boy who refused to prepare for his job as an analyst.

I do watch the NYRA race channel when I play Belmont or Saratoga, which is becoming less….if it were up to me, I would lose Serling, and LaDuka. I get nothing but the obvious from either + Serling is just irritating. Most of the newer females seem to be tokens.
Still more informative than the fanduel/tvg talking head shills—-worthless. At least the former riders have actual experience in racing and better know the owners, trainers, horses and surfaces.
Honestly I do my own thinking and go to the viewer when the runners are on the track.

I actually like the Mig and prefer him as an analyst to Jerry Bailey all day long.

I might be one of the few who don't watch these shows much. I don't watch the Breeders Cup show either. They're probably good for racing but its not for me. I like my screen to show the horses or show the warm up or the walking ring. I don't need people on my screen who add nothing. Or the stories they want to tell. If I'm not betting ok ... maybe that's good stuff. But If I'm betting I only watch the track feed. Sometimes Fox without the sound.

I'm in your camp papa.The track feed is all I need.Most of the time the talking heads are pointing out things I already know.At NYRA Maggie is worth a listen. In regards to the OP.Stevens never looked comfortable.As for former jockeys as commentators, Mig is one of the better ones. GL
