Some Observations:

1) Good move changing teams halfway through the coverage (Pincay/Bailey gave
way to Hammond/Stevens, I think).

2) We can communicate with astronauts in space but can\'t get a working
microphone for Donna Barton Brothers?

3) From the races I listened closely to, seems like Trevor Denman brought
his \"A\" game.

4) Sponsors. Obvious the Friday portion of BC proceedings still has little
commercial cache. All advertisements seemed to be from within the industry
with the exception of a recurring ad for something called the Homeowner Relief
Network, which missed the opportunity to suggest \"betting the house\" and then
calling them if the result was not a favorable one. No beer, soda, fast food,
automobile or even Emirates Air ads on Friday, we will see on Saturday.

In my opinion Gary Stevens needs to be replaced permanently by Bailey. Stevens fumbles and muddles a lot of words and just looks like he is trying to hard. It seems Bailey is much more comfortable speaking in front of the camera.

MO

he (GS)seems to pull his punches too. But still very knowledgeable.

Notice that post time for first BC event today (Juvie Turf) is 2:50 Eastern.
The compelling Towson/Delaware football game just kicked off on NBCSN.
According to NY Post, NBC Sportsnetwork BC coverage does not begin until 3:30
(post time for F/M sprint is 3:35).

If you already knew this, never mind.

Stevens gives nothing. This is a betting channel. Please treat it as such. Way too much bs about inane garbage. Help us win money. Give some insight that will help us make wagers. Not asking for betting advice, but just a bit of useful info. And not after the fact. Dont tell us a jockey or trainer loved their horse after the race. Give us something we cant see in the form or thoros. We will decide what to use and what not.All the time they have and they say nothing.
Charlie Brown, wah, wah, wah. I find myself not even listening.
Mig is best. Would love if they used him more and let him speak. These idiots talk all over him.
The next time they give me something I can use will be the first.

And of course, the game goes into overtime and TWinspires video choppy at best.
