Saying he isn't a real announcer is not praise. No matter how you try and spin it...it isn't.

He's not. He's a guy that does MANY things in the industry and does them very well. His sole focus is not racecalling. If it was I think he might feel differently.

I was speaking from the perspective of a person that's called major racing in major venues for many years.

You're the one spinning. You can always find a way to say I'm any number of awful things.

That's not my intention. For years I've explained that I won't be swayed by that. I very much believe that the vast majority of people on this site are true, unconditional racing fans and I'm willing to weather your storms to continue interacting with them.

So you've gone from being a race caller to a "drifter" like Pat too. According to your logic...

I don't know -- but the horse racing analyst lady they had interviewing Pat in Singapore was hotter than any I've seen in our country.





Beulah Park started this trend ... and everyone else just wants to run with it. It's the stuff 180-point morning lines are made of.

Look at those freckles. European I take it. I can tell from all of the extensive research I've done on europorn.

Good job keeping your eyes above her chin, Pat.

What I'm saying is that if O'Neill and Reddam got together and concluded that the horse could have run in the Belmont but that long term, it wasn't in his best interests, I wish they would have run him because I don't think they had a long term racing interest to protect.
But they had a horse to protect. A horse that has to live another two decades with what racing does to his legs. They chose Horse. Not Money, not Legend.

Kudos to them

Can only think this youtube could have been an inspiration.

Can we get back to the real issue. I think Pat should ask this lady out.

Ha - I know Laura well, and she does a great job for the Dubai Racing Channel.

I bet. She reminds me of a prettier version of Faye Reagan. She's got just the right amount and shade of freckles.

I give her 4.5 socks.

What a hero.

I very much believe you're a disingenuous panderer and apparently I am not alone.

I don't care what you think of me. Never have.
