Where Is Frank Lyons?

Postby PrivateSmiles » Mon Aug 10, 2009 9:04 am

I haven't seen him live on TVG for ever so long. Is he still employed by them and if so, why hasn't he been doing the co-hosting/analyzing thing?

Maybe he's at F-T in Saratoga, doing his bloodstock advisor gig for IEAH?

He used to be a regular fixture in and around the Del Mar track in the summer, but I don't believe there has been a sighting yet this year. I could be wrong, though.
I bet on a horse at ten-to-one. It didn't come in until half-past five.
My horse was so late getting home, he tiptoed into the stable.

I saw him on the 10th anniversery special but wasn't on the anchor desk that night tough. But he was at the party at hollywood park.

It's a common question on all racing forums.
To speculate:

He's been let go ( read fired ) by TVG.

He still works at TVG, but he's only in research because of his on air slips of the tounge or looks hungover.

He's on paid leave by TVG until his contract runs out. In other words, her's being paid to stay away. Kinda like what happened to Keyshawn Johnson that one year with the TB Buccaneers.

Whatever it is, TVG will never say.

I thought maybe the gossip mills might have a concensus.
