He decided the bag just didn't go with that horse's shoes.

It was an old school duffle bag. It caused quite a stir because security weren't sure what was in it. It turned out to be a change of clothes or something mundane like that.

'fended off easily'..

'maced as necessary'..

'received phony number'..

I thought these were the comment lines reguarding your performance around the chocolate fountain.

Trust me, I usually own any chocolate fountain, one of the greatest culinary creations.

we had a horse at River in 2006 named Two Step Partner and his comment read "ducked in over hedge, jumped in lake"

the next time they led him over to run, they had a life preserver over him... and he won!

As I remember, it was "Tote Bag day" at Del Mar that day. The guy wanted to commit suicide but changed his mind when the field went by the 1/8th pole.

The best comments the chartcallers ever produce never make into the charts -- I can remember some gems from the likes of Duspiva, Gore and Guilliams (now departed, RIP) and more than a few who are still working that made an otherwise bad day at the windows memorable.

BTW, Jack Wilson's brother, Dave "Snake" Wilson, was chartcaller at Delta Downs and was the first to notice in that now infamous race that Sly Carmouche came out of the fog bank way too early and pointed it out to the stewards.
