What about Trevor calling it a 2 horse race at the top of the stretch? Warr Pass was almost out of the screen by then.

between the cameras, the announcing and the mud, it's tough to tell what's going on. Could use the Woodbine chicklets today. Or, better yet, Georgeff.

Ah missed that one. I was too busy grumbling about the 'that's not War Pass you idiots, he's off the bloody screen!'

Did Hank come up with some drinking buddies? Is that what this mess is caused by?

One positive is Hank gives his picks with like 7 minutes to post meaning that if he likes your horse you pass the race and if he doesn't send it in!

Did anybody besides me enjoy the pogo stick interview with Caiton and Joe Talamo? There's a time for closeups, that wasn't one of them. I felt like I needed to bounce up and down while they were talking. For a second all you saw was people hopping up and down, no horse.
