HRTV - Target Louisville

[Silver Charm]

This show is on HRTV on Thursday nights at 8:00PM and it is worth a look. Previews the upcoming Derby Prep races by showing some of the previous preps and throws in a few Trainer interviews and workouts.

The show is presented by one of their A-Teams; Pincay, Siegal and Ball and even includes Siegals Top Ten Rankings. Since the \"Trained by Bob Baffert\" infomercial that ran on ESPN2 on tuesday afternoons was mercifully cancelled, this is one of the few opportunities racing fans have to recap and rev-up for the weekends leading up to Louisville on Derby Day.

Regressing to the \"Trained by Bob Baffert\" infomercial. That was 25 years of tradition that got flushed. I went all the way back to the Race Horse Digest days with Sharon Smith.

The HRTV-Target Louisville crew is smarter than that. Hopefully they have started the beginnings of another tradition that can last equally as long.

Jeff told me that the budget for the show is not big and he hopes their show is up to snuff.
