RQ, is that comment a very subtle dig at Larry Colmus's error in the Wood race call? I feel so sorry for a great race caller to have been announcing that Adventist was making a strong bid up the rail and challenging for the lead, when it was in fact Trojan Nation. You could hear the feeling of horror in his voice as soon as he realized the error.

By the way, I made the mistake of counting my trifecta as a sure winner at the quarter pole of the Ashland - it seemed to just be a question of which order and how much. I haven't gone back to look at the internal fractions, but Weep No More seemed to be going twice as fast as everyone else coming down the stretch. And those were high quality stakes horses that she ran down. Very impressive performance.

Subtlety is not my forte. If it came across as critical it was not my intention. Race calling is tougher than tough.

You didn't come across as critical. I just saw that it could be read in two different ways, and one of them fit the situation where the race caller didn't see the right horse. I'm willing to give him a mulligan - he doesn't miss much.
