You need to relax. Nobody has said anything bad about Dave. Life does go on and a replacement will be necessary. I don't see anything wrong with speculating about who might take over his seat.

I hope it's not Dave Little going to make the morning lines again. Remember like 3 years back or so he could understand why horses he had at 10-1 15-1 were going off at 4-5 and winning--morning line chalk going off 10-1 20-1 backing up and breaking down.....

Prewitt is the leading candidate. The only problem is that it's a per diem job, 2 days a week with no benefits. With Pompano gone, he's definitely looking for another job.

It will be hard to get someone with Dave's talent. Making the morning line is not easy at the Meadowlands. In my opinion Brower was the best tv host in the business. That's why he had all the top gigs.
Greg Blanchard is someone who has impressed me.

Jessica Otten, 25, has been promoted from Meadowlands’ marketing coordinator/on air personality to TV host and Fox Sports show host.

“There’s nothing more that I like to do than promote from within,” said Big M chief operating officer/general manager Jason Settlemoir. “To listen to Dave Brower and what he had to say about her – and Dave Little as well – and the other people around her, I think that this is a natural next step for Jessica. We're hoping to appeal to a younger audience and adding Jessica will surely help with that. Another plus is that we don't have to add any more staff or per diem pay so we're actually saving some money."

It's amazing how he always brings up cutting expenses. Who will be taking her previous job? Oh, never mind. She'll probably do both for the same money.

Curious about what he takes in salary and perks from the track(s) Gural owns. Whatever it is it's too much.
What does he actually do?

Title: Edison Hatter new Big M morning line maker
Post by: stanetelman on October 28, 2022, 08:12:25 PM
Edison Hatter, 23, a harness racing jack-of-all-trades who has been working at The Big M as the handicapper on TVG telecasts as well as doing occasional winner's circle and back paddock interviews, will now add the morning-line and program comments to his already full to-do list.

"Edison Hatter is one of the brightest young minds in all of harness racing," said Big M Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Jason Settlemoir. "His tremendous passion for the game, his willingness to work part time for no additional salary - not to mention all of the things he has accomplished already at a remarkably young age - I believe make him the perfect choice to take on such a big responsibility."

In addition to his four-pronged Meadowlands gig, Hatter intends to continue to serve as the track announcer at Freehold Raceway and will keep his position as an aerospace engineer for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as well.

"Sadly the racing jobs are only per diem with no benefits so I have to keep the NASA job," said Hatter.  "Hopefully one day I"ll be able to make racing my full time passion."

This the second time Settlemoir mentioned willingness to work for free as a valued component in his decision who to hire.
 I completely  understand keeping the expense low when delivering a product. But, here is one position that needs the best you can find to the position of being the front man for your TV and simulcast broadcasts. Giving this position to a young person does not make your product automatically attractive to a new audience of young people.
 So when Settilemoir is saving those big bucks in stiffing this kid, he is doing a disservice to the M1 product and it's current client base.

How will any young people even know that a young lady is on air ?
Young people don't like harness racing so if the on air talent isn't doing a pole dance or taking off her top then nobody new will be tuning in.
For over 40 years I have heard that every race is fixed and it's a crooked sport. That stereotypical view will never change and with the indictments hitting the news that view will only get stronger. There isn't any new fan base. The popular professional sports are also losing fans and having a difficult time attracting new ones.
