This is getting pretty funny.
I mean if you wanna nitpick I could cut Denman to shreds each and every day.
That deal where Denman spends the last 10 seconds of the race using adjectives to describe how the winner looks and who is riding him rather than telling us who has moved into 2nd and 3rd to complete exactas and trifectas may be the worst thing in all of race calling.
In this case a horse who often quits had a 15 length lead reduced to 3 1/2 lengths and he was trying to anticipate what was going to occur.
He rightly pointed out the shrinking lead, but then with surprise in his voice called the winner winning.
I guess I don't know what the problem was.
But I do know that at Fairplex twice yesterday the camera was isolated on the runaway winner and while people were dying to know who was going to complete the tri and exacta in the race, Trevor was too busy telling us about how "easily, and put a circle around this one blah blah"". These are just terrible threads.
