Beyer and Tampa

[rgustafson]

Many positives about the track and the racing and finally, towards the end of the article, he comes down HARD on Grunder. One could only hope that management would take note and make a change. This guy is the worst, closely followed by Battaglia and Terry Wallace.

Nobody is as bad as Battaglia.

Ok, each to his own, but if you want conformation just watch and listen to his call in last year's Tampa Bay Derby featuring the ill fated O-dee-suss. Someone that knows how should be able to post it here.

What does a horses build have to do with anything?

The man is an INSTITUTION in Tampa, although if one only listened to his calls without watching the race, said person would probably need to be institutionalized after trying to figure out who actually won and where the winner came from, but that's beside the point

Nice avatar, btw. Funny sh*t

I think Sheets should take that photo every year. It could be his own personalized Grunder Growth Chart.

I just spoke to him about that. We'll get an updated photo Saturday, provided you are willing to once again be the photographer.

That's my goal on Saturday. If only we could get The Waz in it too, that would be greatest picture of all time!

Grunder is Tom Durkin compared to Terry Wallace. He might mis-pronounce names all the time but at least he gives you a good general idea what's going on. Wallace is absolutely dreadful. He botches names, calls the wrong horses, has giant pauses in his calls, it's just embarassing at times.

The promo for Ferdinand on HRTV this Sunday night included a little snippet from his owner where she discusses how the announcer didn't even call him until the eighth pole. Who was on the mike that afternoon? Battaglia...

This poor kid is doomed.

It took a while for Battaglia to recover after Rampage got shut off.
