One of the Best all time racecalls
 
Golden Gate
Race 9
Sun, Mar 28, 2010

The pedestrian running of this race leads Mike Wrona into a very creative call of this race. If you have replays you have to catch it.
26.4, 51.12, 1:15, 1:41.04, 1:53.87

Strange that a 9/5 choice was being strangled by the jockey when the fractions were 26 and 51.

What was strange was you actually had a horse 15 lengths off of the leaders off of that slow pace causing Wrona to rather hilariously say"....couldn't shoot the leaders with a cannon".

very funny

"Might make it home by first post Thursday". :)

I've come to enjoy his calls quite a bit about horse names that make it clear why "racecallers drink" and another runner running off like he had a "Toyota Gas Pedal."

Wrona was spoken to once for saying that a longshot leader who sprinted clear at the top of the stretch was "staying like a mother in law!" He is hilarious.

That's because R Baze didn't have a mount in the race. Who needs apprentices to force the pace and collapse races needlessly when Baze is around?

Thanks CSC for sharing that it was quite amusing.

"Strung out like Browns Cows" Priceless
