Can't say I enjoyed it.

Beautifully filmed, but a fairly disgusting view of our industry.

Racing is way better than that.

is it really? i thought that it was pretty spot on actually.

racing at an everyday grind, especially from an everyday race tracker standpoint, is not all peaches and cream

They are filming more episodes at SA, as their ratings are very positive.

The grooms that are working for Luck, are making big $$, This is a windfall for them, as their wages are 30 years behind times.

There's a lot of that going around, and not just on the backstretch.

Yeah I agree. I like Gary Stevens character. So far he's the only character that I am feeling anything for.. And the Hispanic trainer has Julio Canani down.

The guy I can't seem to grasp is Dustin Hoffman. Seems like he's always in a hotel room with the Dennis Farina.
