Maybe he should have said "Pine Island is down, shes snapped off her leg right by her ankle, undoubtedly she will need to be euthanized". "Probably on track since she cant walk, in front of 75 thousand fans" Then would he have called a good race? So what, he missed Calvin slipping up the rail for a moment, big deal. He called a good day of racing, hes a fantastic racecaller, period

Who are you, Denman's little brother? You cannot possibly be serious with any of this. Completely missing a horse BREAKING DOWN in a BC race, especially one of the favorites, is absolutely, totally inexcusable. As is not calling Street Sense until he was back in the barn cooling out. As is mispronouncing name after name after name like a novice. As is somehow defending this guy after he does one of the worst announcing jobs you'll ever hear in your life. He's just like Lava Man. A lot of hype in California, but on the big day, he's nowhere to be found.

he murdered 'miesques approval'. said mystique....ah well, he's got the job at any rate. he did ok.

but this board will have a lot less postings on it if we can only critique a performance after attempting it ourselves!!!

and i just caught the 'stupid as half of you' remark after seeing it in ateams post above.

handle was an all time high at churchill yesterday, this after ruffian killing the sport, landseer, go for wand, barbaro--oops, tom durkin kept us advised on him throughout that race, it's a wonder anyone bought tix to yesterdays event after that....this sport has been dead and buried how many times now?? i think that horse racing is far too resilient, and has far too much time and money invested in it to go tits up based on a horse breaking down.
