Tampa Bay..Grunder
 

Is there another racecaller out there who mangles the names of the horses during his race calls more than this guy?

I love betting the big fields there and waiting for another gem from him on a daily basis.

My favorite of all time was a few weeks/months ago when he called
Ballast

Ball assed

there was another beut over the weekend by I cant remember it right now

Even better when he calls the winner in midstretch only to have that horse overtaken at the wire...happened twice in the last month.

Which one is Grunder?

if you all dont want the wrath of gpk on you.id let it go...

Is this DrugS and Gramps?

saturday 2/27, Race #5...

you have got to be kidding me? Not only did the horse he said "would take them start to finish" get caught, but he ran 3rd...

too much

Make "almost every pole a winning one."

He does like to call the winners really early.

The more I hear Grunder, the better Battaglia gets.

Stop.

Impossible, he is the worst.

I'm not convinced they are different people. Anyone have a pic of them together?

:tro:

I bet the speed in that race, it was the worst call I have ever herd. TOTAL ****ING JOKE.

I disagree, Tampa guy is the worst.

He liked Awesome Gem this weekend.....Stop it

At least Grunder is entertaing, gets you a bit excited during the race (ok so sometimes he prematurely calls races), but he's 100x better than that mono-tone boring guy you are refering to that makes the same boring call of a race, every race, every day.
Instead of water boarding prisioners they should just but Battaglia on a loop.

You should not be talking, you were all over Cat Park.

Thanks, for both posts.

Stop it.

Sharp post!

"Straight and strong"

Damn right. Leave Grunder alone. Greatest race caller evah.

Is he shorter than you :D

:mad:

Opening day 2007.... First race - there's a horse called Ecclesiastic Cat (or something very similar, perhaps Bigs can recall) Our boy completely butchers the things name 15 SECONDS into the meet....


A record I'm sure will stand for decades

i wasnt beating him down
 

I find him more entertaining than Norm Crosberry

I don't remember the horse's name, but I do remember it was a 1 1/16th race and he botched the name before they got to the wire for the first time. Less than a 1/16th of a mile into the meet.

That said, I have nothing but love for Richard Grunder.

I think it was the double header day last year when we saw him downstairs in the simulcast area about 15 seconds after calling the last race. It was at that moment when my love for everything Grunder skyrocketed:{>: :{>:

I Don't blame him, even Byk could butcher a name like that.

most of us announcers are actually punting sooner than that, atleast the ones who have machines up in the press box!!

When they were entering the stretch, he said, "Odysseus will have to wait for another day."

Nice assumption, schmuck.

I like Grunder

but I like cartoons

Come on,cut the brother a break.Not his fault that there was beer in his goggles.

Well, it's not like he was pronouncing it right, anyway.
