Would hate to have a bet on the race when this happens

I thought it was great. I mute most calls by the track announcers anyways. It never adds anything for me to hear a call. Its like listening to the announcers watching a football game them telling me **** I already know.

It's not a call. It's a travesty.

:rolleyes:

no, people getting killed in a food stampede is a travesty. a celeb calling a race is no big deal at all, and has nothing to do with the outcome of the race.

Much better as a whole skit in context than the race call on its own
