Watch this crew anytime they are on Fox Sports 1 or 2.
America's Day at the Races is hosted by Greg Wolf with a broadcast team of handicappers and racing analysts that includes Andy Serling, Maggie Wolfendale, Richard Migliore, Gary Stevens, Michelle Yu, Nancy Holthus, Laffit Pincay III, Acacia Courtney and Jonathon Kinchen.

I finally realized why it is my heart skips a beat
every time Ms. Courtney appears on screen...
She is my girlfriend from 35 years ago @ Cal-State Fullerton (GO TITANS!).

imo Mig is ok—same with simon bray—kinchen I really like—the pedigree/conformation girls are interesting
The rest get the mute button, with Carothers and shrupp being irritating and Serling an intolerable downer The s cal girls are worthless but pretty
iPod, Qobuz or Tidal instead

I can't think of anyone who has worked harder or longer on horse racing TV than Todd Schrupp. All the way back to the beginnings of TVG, Todd provided original content, information and entertainment. He brought the genre from vaudeville to the silver screen. Total commitment to his audience and the sport he loves!
Todd is really wonderful in person. Visited my window on many occasions... a good gambler and great tipper when he wins!

Used to love the HRTV crew. Jeff Siegel is a great handicapper and very knowledgeable .

I like the Mig as an analyst. Lafiit is good as host (he doesn't really do analysis, I don't think that is his role. Not crazy about Randy Moss and for a HOF jockey and I can do without Jerry Bailey. Christina(Olivares) Blacker is very good. I too, have a soft spot for Todd Shrupp, not for his analysis but basically for the reasons that Dell has given. I used to love Frank Lyons back in the day, but in his last year or so on air I felt like he was completely winging it with no preparation.

Yes, Christina not only a very beautiful woman but knows her stuff. Of course she grew up around it with her Dad. I think overall TVG does a good job, I agree that Mig. of all the jockeys gives the best analysis.
