Things I like:
First time starters on the turf
Rolling Pick 3s
Early and Late Daily Doubles
Keeneland
A clear night at Emerald Downs
Things I dislike:
Always losing photo finishes.
Bug boys that don't know where the finish line is.
Getting knocked out of the Pick 4 in the first race.
ESPN failing to display fractional times during a race.
