I haven't been able to get to the track this weekend, so I've been forced to watch the satellite TV channel I call Totally Vulgar and Gross (aka TVG).

Vic Stauffer was one of the studio hosts the past several days. What a breath of fresh air! He's funny, he's informative, he knows his stuff (plus, he very smoothly worked in some nice plugs for Thoro-Graph).

Vic is, by far, the best on-camera presence they've ever had. I mean, he is 20 lengths the best!

If management of that satellite channel (it's so laughable that they call themselves a "network." Does anyone really equate TVG with, say, NBC?) had any brains, they would find a way to keep Vic at least through Oak Tree.

Probably wishful thinking, though...clearly, TVG management has always been clueless.
