Edison?
Once again, you the man!
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.

Yea should have given the job to a jew
They won't work for nothing.
You have to wonder if Dave had insurance coverage he could have his health issues addressed. One would think Gural might learn his lesson, but instead hires the cheapest, not the best.
