Trevor Denman - 61-180 Days (9 .33)
 

Trevor seemed unusually out of form at Opening Day today, stumbling badly in 6 out of the 9 races.

I almost fell off my chair when he called Matty G Whiz "Matty Wee Jizz" in the 6th. Others whose names changed mid-race were Tycoon Doby and the 4th and Yario in the 7th, who turned into Vario down the stretch (5 times!) .

I'm a big fan of Vic Stauffer but I like Trevor, too. I hope he returns to form quickly.

How about how Teeman only caught Trevor's attention when he had been in front for a sixteenth of a mile in the 7th?

I'm not an announcer basher, I really understand how tough their job is, but with the way some people speak highly of Trevor I don't have a problem saying I am not a fan.

HAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!

It is always tough coming back off a layoff, just for the simple fact of getting your rhythm back and getting your brain into memorization mode.

I think Trevor has "lost a step", but he's still very good. He definitely had a tough day. It reminded me of last year's Breeders' Cup, when he was very much off his game, missing Street Sense's move and not seeing him until he was 6 in front.

so are you saying we should expect a better performance second time off the layoff?

I have no clue what has happened to trevor but thats just not the guy I grew up with.

Maybe he needs a milkshake........Jeff......paging Jeff Mullins!!!!:D

Or maybe he's bothered by a little stiffness in the joints.......Biancone.......à l'attention de Patrick Biancone!

I was thinking the same thing. He used to be the best.

back in the 80s, my friends and i would sometimes have some beers with TD at fairplex, after the races were done.

he was a pretty big drinker back then, but i have no idea about nowadays.

He used to know who was done and who was moving, who was getting the best trip while never missing a beat, now he cant even keep the horses straight. Seriously, pull up some of the stake races from around 90 and his calls were unreal.

whats his ROI?

This is about the time I started getting into the races and hearing Trevor Denman's calls certainly added to the experience. I would have loved to have heard him calling the Breeders' Cup during that time (especially the ones in Southern California).

I was afraid that might have been the problem. Not that I ever heard anything to that effect previously, but I had my suspicions.
