Okay, I think we're hammering this one from a few different angles. My point is he missed the horse COMPLETELY, twice, not that he didn't know who it was. At some point during the last half mile of the race, don't you think he might have looked up and noticed the only horse moving forward? Whatever, 20 horses or 6, Mr Durkin is slowing down. He is too much to into the "show" of the call, rather than the call itself. Isn't that why people started jumping all over "and down the stretch they come"?
