Default Beyer and Tampa

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.

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.

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
