Chart Caller hyperbole
Anyone who saw AQU's 6th race yesterday knows 6th place finisher Judiths Garden had a terrible trip.
However, according to the chart caller, he was "humped after the start, bore out on the first turn, raced four wide on the second turn, and tired." http://www.drf.com/drfPDFChartRacesI...=20071207&RN=6 No need to be a perv and watch the replay - Judith the 2yo gelding wasn't really humped. It's just too bad the chart caller didn't say "humped hard in tight at start, bold move from rear, in hand late." |
While you're at it, maybe you can get them to correct the chart for FG-12-08-07_R8. Royal and Flashy does not pass 8 horses (going from last to 6th) from the 1st to the 2nd call. At least the text part of the chart got it right, if the numbers didn't.

Judith's Garden sailed to a wire-to-wire win and paid $9.50 today in his first start since being "humped" and suffering through a miserable trip.
The old 'first time off a hard humping angle' strike again. |
