These two would be phenomenal on the radio! They are very knowledgeable but they look like they just stepped out of of a homeless shelter. Maybe they could bring back the Beulah Twins and do a voice over? LOL

Ernie Gaskin was a listed trainer for Billy Haughton. Good guy to talk back in the day.

I thought that they were just great all night .. and, kind of felt they deserved an on camera close-up // as you say, when they showed the gals, it was less than flattering. I think the trouble was the lousy backdrop and alley cat lighting.

In selling anything, you customers and prospects need to identify with the presenter. A decision of like or dislike is made in just a few seconds. So, what is the demographic they are trying to reach? 30-50 year old, self absorbed outlandish hat wearing women? High end executives? No Harness racing is and has been about the average working Joe.
Hey Stan Bergstein and Spencer Ross, two non descript middle age men did a world class job tapping into and retaining that demographic for a long time.
We hear all the time, ..."we need the young people..." So, they give you knowledgeable, unpretentious, better than average looking presenters and the peckerheads complain.
Keep doing the great work, ladies.

Again another old adage...SEX Sells. You can't attract a good looking young crowd with two frogs on a lili pad
-
Emily has been in the business forever having grown up under her father's connections which did include the time he was listed as first trainer for Bill Haughton in NY, and knows what she's talking about, she did the Hoosier show for years. She wasn't hired for her appearance. Jenna on the other hand although also growing up in the sport somewhat, is still very very young and inexperienced. She may be a little cuter than her sister Jess but she is lacking in her handicapping skills and is constantly fumbling over words. She just needs a bit more practice and she should do fine.

I understand all of this. But....The adage still holds true. I didnt make it up. Its a clear indications of times past and present.

Emily has done a solid job at Hoosier over time and occasionally as an expert analyst. AND, she is xpert.
Jenna began the Scioto meet trying to pretense as an insider. After a few weeks, she lost that vibe .. used what she actually had seen and, little by little, improved. AND, don't for a minute discount the tutalege of Barry Vicroy. For me- no one is better than that guy

Of course Sex Sells is true. I was a seller on ebay and Amazon for years. Mostly of Entertainment products like VHS and DVDs What do you think our best sellers were?
small name drop .. Pia Zadora once bought her movie Butterfly from us. Talk about a super sexy woman.

Funny you mention her cause I mentioned in a different thread today that when Rejean was flying high he lived on an estate next to Pia Zadora and Meshulum Riklis
-
That is weird. You didn't mention Pia in your post and I never even heard of that guy although in looking him up now I see he married Judith Stern before Pia and was known as "Mr Pia Zadora". I have no clue why I even decided to use her as an example, it just popped into my head when xyz was talking about sex sells. We sold to a lot of celebrities looking to pick up their own old movies.

There was a very good trotter named Riklis after him, but the horse had nothing to do with rejean. Pretty sure Riklis was Hambo material.

She was hot. Was she married Ron Perlman or was that another actress?
-
Perlman married a jewelry designer originally and after divorcing married his costar of Start up Allison Dunbar.

Ahhh got it.

hmm, fellas does it really matter what they look like
sometimes they barely even are on the screen
i mean really, i assume there are numerous sites on the internet you can look up and see pretty woman
to do that job you need two things
1. you need to know what the fuck you are talking about so people can benefit from your insight
2. you need to present it in a manner and format that people can quickly and easily understand
now if you can do that and look like acacia courtney from gulfstream than you have hit the lottery

Dave Little fails at jobs 1 and 2

Hard to find former Miss Connecticut's who know anything about horses but Fox Sports loves her too. She did most of the Meadowlands broadcasts when they covered them.
-
I think both Maggie Wolfendale and Acacia on FOX are terrific in different ways. First they aren’t trying to be handicappers per se. I doubt either one gambles very much if ever. These ladies truly know their way around horses and training them. Maggie because of upbringing and parents being long time mid-atlantic trainers, can tell you almost anything about a race horse. Alicia a former jumper gives you some broader strokes, calm down guys, about breeding, owners, trainer habits and horse lives after racing. Both ladies are married to successful NYRA trainers Morley and Clement Jr. Now let’s compare them to the Meadowlands expertise…Dave Little. Ok I won’t 73cv.2

I think they all did a great job Saturday. The lighting sucked! Emily & Jess are very knowledgeable. Jenna is learning & I’m sure y’all that are criticizing her have never been on tv before. She’s doing a great job & will keep getting better. As far as handicapping some y’all are old & still suck at it!! Lol

Jenna is young and still learning
all Emily does is look at final quarter times and then says thats the horse she likes-she must have been told the clock is everything because she is obsessed with final quarters/final times beyond most

Please give Dave Little a break.
He’s a nice person and that in itself should trump those who constantly make fun at his weight or that he always picks chalk (which is true).
Try putting yourself in his shoes for a minute minute. Do you think that he wants to be overweight? Don’t think so friends. Have a heart and stop the bashing, karma is a bitch.

Thanks, Dave.

Well Lar4400, Dave Little can try a few things to lose some of his girth. Just look at Gov Chris Christie and what surgery and his new diet have done for him. 73cv.2

The point is that his weight is no body’s business but his own.
He loves harness racing like all of us on this blog. Good enough for me.

Loving racing doesn't necessarily mean he should be teaching people how to make bets
