Not personally on-board that the right discussion point is Johnny I. vs. Tom vs. Maggie. Like any sports call, what happened in the moment?

Saw the Eddie Read in real time and held my breath when Rosario's mount went down. In the moment, I was surprised that the fall was not acknowledged, but was more surprised that the "tone" of Frank's stretch call never waivered - even mentioned it here at home.

The racecall emphasis was still on the front end with Cathkin Peak on the attack behind Commander Khai. Even, Beer Can Man was called twice in the aftermath. Ebeko was the favorite (5-2) and surely you had to be aware of where this nice two year old was in the field.

I might be completed wrong here, but as a fan, I think Frank actually missed the fall when it happened. I have heard him call race mishaps and his pacing does usually change.
