"The horses are now loading into the Earthlink starting gate (seriously Earthlink was sponsoring the loading of horses into the gate lol)... Earthlink- a fine maker of starting gates across the country" lol
He said it all non-chalant... and I had to think about it for a sec, and then I just started laughing. I couldn't quit laughing for like 5 minutes. It's just that normal goofball attitude of Mayne's that lightens the coverage up. I like it.

I DID hear that, and mentioned it to my 12-yr-old son, also watching. I figured Earthlink had sponsored the race, but they were actually sponsoring the loading?? That makes it even funnier.
