Viewers' Choice Awards for HRTV & TVG Personalities

In today's column, Richard Eng reveals his Eclipse ballot. He is also asking for viewer input for the best talent on HRTV & TVG. I put my ballot together but want to plug one of them individually. I think she is the best between both networks:

Hands down, the winner is Christina Olivares. Remember her from last year's Santa Anita meet? Ok, she's smokin' in a sun dress when interviewing connections in the winners circle. I won't deny that her, a'hem, assets, got my attention. But jeeze louise, she's just incredibly knowledgeable. She's a goddamn expert on the sport. Furthermore, the organic knowledge she has from growing up on the backstretch and familiarity with the connections makes her tops in my book. She always asks the right questions. She is disarming, a substantive asset that yields real answers, and her delivery is so casual it's like she's interviewing her favorite uncle. Contrast that with the floozy at TVG who knows nothing of the sport and acts like a caricature of a ditzy blond when conducting an interview.
