In any case, for some reason he choose to call Tiago out of the four or five other horses that were trailing the field; why does the beaten lengths matter at that pt? Look at the video yourself as they near the top of the stretch. I couldnt tell at that pt. that Tiago was moving up any more than the other, but then camera had just pulled back so...
Correct. There is also a person who does the chart calling, but that is separate from the race caller (and they may not even see it the same way.)
