Today in the fifth at Oaklawn Terry Wallace notes the big outside move from Just a Nibble and calls him the winner on the wire.

Except it wasn't Just a Nibble. It was Badger Barry.

You could tell Terry was a little rattled after that race. In the eighth race call, he had some five second gaps while he double checked who was making a run on the backstretch.

In Terry's defense, (and every racecaller for that matter) it was raining and hazy at Oaklawn today. Folks watching the race on television should remember that the view the announcer has might not be anywhere near as good as the view afforded the pan shot camera. If you are in the pressbox behind glass and rain is falling directly on to the pane, your binoculars are useless.
