It's almost unbelievable.

Great. We'll get to hear Terry Wallace say "short stretch of the mile" 11 times...can't wait.

Sometimes he even forgets where the mile finish line is. He's so worried about the horses behind making a big late move that he forgets where the finish line is. He's a Oaklawn fixture.

Probably the more reasonable thing to say would be that all the 6F races are on Friday. About 10 of them.

Wallace in a tux, in Arkansas, saying "short stretch of the mile" is just absolutely pimp....and he'll probably have a couple of those homely chicks in jockey silks that help with the post position draw with him on Saturday... Terry Wallace, I can tell he's a local legend and I've never been there.
