Veteran Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 3194 Location: Arizona	#13 Posted: 3/16/2012 12:16:17 AM I've watched 4 episodes and enjoy the show. The only drawback I see is it's so hard to hear the dialogue. Between the trainers accent the guy that speaks goofy as it is & Nolte mumbling it did get irritating. Overall, the show has many interesting plot lines. And BMA, I've never respect the opinion of anyone that uses the term "rubbish". Either it sucks or it don't, I didn't think so. I didn't like The Sopranos after 1 or 2 shows very much or Deadwood for that matter. Many of the shows I like never started off immediately pulling you in, it might take a few shows.

I actually think the more "tech" they get with the sound recording, the WORSE they are.

The track action is intense, it gives you the sensation your in the race. I read previously how difficult it is to pull off the illusion of real racing. The actors did an awesome job on this project, it's a shame so many involved will be out of work due to the plug being pulled on this series, I believe it had great potential. Must be a huge disappointment to put all the time necessary to create a series like this and have it all go away overnight.

Accidental deaths and killing animals are quite different? Horses die on racetracks EVERYDAY in America. Everything that lives dies also if you haven't noticed. It's not like they were out there torturing animals (Vick) for some sick twisted fetish. If you don't work for PETA, perhaps they'd like to talk with you.
