1) Rosario's horse gets all the attention in the call and wins the race:
THOSE THAT BET THE HORSE WIN. THOSE THAT DIDN'T LOSE (assuming they bet a loser).
2) Rosario's horse gets all the attention in the call and doesn't win the race:
THOSE THAT BET THE HORSE LOSE. THOSE THAT DIDN'T DON'T LOSE (unless they bet another loser, which Vic's call wouldn't affect  ).
Oh Yeah, I can definitely see where there's 'legit concern'.
Should we move on to those cases where Vic's call affects the outcome of the race? Didn't think so.
Of course, Rosario is presently leading jockey out there and I'm SURE that Vic's calls are the reason. |
This is a misrepresentation of the posters point.
He said legit conern about the announcing, he had already
made the point, as have many others, that it does nothing to
effect the outcome of the race. You are looking at it totally
from a wagering point of view.
If someone, God forbid, actually watched racing for pleasure,
and wished the event was presented in an accurate audible
manner, then it might be a concern. There are people on this
board that do not bet, but just like racing.
string em up.
