I did, but now the video screen's blank.

I guess it's messed up then because it worked for me. Maybe it is something with your state not allowing it...that sucks.

Yeah, the reservation gets a Harrah's, but the rest of us have to get our jollies from the MegaMillions and Powerball. I get that they decide they have to protect us from the big bad wagering monster, but for the love of pete, can we not see the racing feeds from gambling websites? Lead us not unto temptation, I guess. They'd sooner allow you to buy alcohol all day on Sunday. I hate to point out the obvious, but some people get it on a Saturday night and--the nerve--drink it during church hours no matter what laws you pass on the time they can buy it.

Archarcharch holds off Nehro by a head for those who couldn't watch. The Factor a non-factor.

And Terry Wallace gets the nod for Worst call in the history of horse racing.

That was a disgrace. If you can't call the Arkansas Derby without several 5-second pauses, what the hell are you doing announcing at Oaklawn?

he's bad enough with colored saddle cloths.. without them, he sounds like a drunk bumbling idiot

In the backstretch...."The factor's been taken to the outside in third.......and now moving up between horses...........that's JW Blue"....JW Blue was near the rear of the pack when he made that call.

i think he has eye issues, always on the backside and then he can't regain his train of thought.

guessing this is his last year.....

There were several periods of dead air in that race when he said nothing at all.

Just brutal.

Top two looked pretty good, I do like Archarcharch a bit but he was all out to win.

And for his swan song, he gets to call a 1 3/4 race to end the meet...

[bare it all]

Luckily he'll only call about a mile's worth.

And he really knocked it out of the park. As they turn for home, he says of the tiring pacesetter: "Toby the Coal Man is still trying to hang on there in third."

Just saying....

I have to use the mute most of the races at Oaklawn.

[golfer]

And for those who couldn't hear, that had to be the worst race call ever. Sorry, but we would have been better served with simple silence.

Thanks. I guess with the race call going the way it did, it's probably a good thing that I didn't have to hear it. Maybe Archarcharch's name will grow on Haskin. What happened with The Factor? Did he not make the lead, and it hit the fan after that?

Never made the lead. Sway Away blew past him on the turn and appeared to be in control but faded to fourth in deep stretch.

The Factor can't rate. Period.
