Just think it could have been called better. Pyro was making a huge move and not a word was mentioned until he won.

I was watching the race live just inside the 1/16 pole cheering for Z fortune and then in an instant Pyro flew by my vision through my binocs. As a race caller i would think that after making a mental note that Pyro was not in contention and not gaining at the top of the stretch, that he naturally focused on the leaders inside the 1/8 pole. I actually believe he caught Pyro just a few strides after he swung out for room, and made a nice call thereafter.

I think it was a very good race call. There was a handful of horses in contention all down the stretch and he was picking up each one.

I've watched the replay and I disagree. The call was fine.

He did drop the ball on Pyro. It was painfully obvious the horse was last far before the start of the stretch run.
