It's a track announcer that doesn't influence anything other than how a race is called. Horses can't understand humans last I heard and jocks, at best, hear a race call in the last furlong and if anyone thinks they are really listening at that point..well..

I have no interest in or have ever met Stauffer, Rosario or for that matter, anyone who is really involved here, but there is a serious hard on for Vic that I don't get. As someone told me yesterday, listening to Durkin sob as Birdstone sweeps by to win the Belmont was far more offensive and insulting to the connections of Birdstone than anything that Stauffer is accused of.
