Do You Like Me? - Joanna Jones

Ok week 2 begins. We're done w/ ESPN and onto HRTV.

Results so far: About 40% of you like Hammerin Hank, that's about 20% too much. I'd like to know what you like about him. The only thing I can think of is if he picks against your horse, you know you're home free. The guy is a mush, no?

Only 1 guy in 26 doesn't like Randy Moss. Ok Mr 1 guy, spill it, why don't you like him? Hopefully it's a personal anectdote where he cut you in the beer line or something. I would love to see the dirt on this guy.

Jeannine Edwards not getting as much love either. I swear it's her figure. And, while that is totally sexist and irrelevant, the girl is way too thin. Where is the camera adding ten pounds to her? Where?! I think she deserves some more love though, keep voting. This reporter didn't back down from some tough questions at Keeneland last year, and she deserves major props for doing that on a network that had just bought the BC.

I'm not a big watcher of HRTV, I get it now on optimum online, but I just don't like the production value of the show, it's too... a/v clubbish, just an opinion. Anyways, Joanne Jones is a face I see quite a lot on the channel. She's had the gig since 2004, but been covering horse racing for 25 years, or so it says. Anyways, I'm expecting a big turn out for her, as she is always the talk of the BB's, so have at it.

I like Jeannine Edwards for the most part, but talking to Desormeaux as he walked back through the tunnel was not one of her better moments. Kent was more calm and collected than she was, and Jeannine sounded like just another journalist scrambling for dirt.

I'd disliked Goldberg even since he talked me off Street Sense in the Juvenile (by picking him himself). But on the day before the Preakness, when he went over his betting limit on ESPN, and said something to the effect that Hillary was putting in her own money, so why shouldn't he? Classic line, totally won me over.
