I wish Battaglia did the race call for the Derby.

He couldn't get through the entire field once before they reached the wire.

Battaglia couldnt get through the entire derby field by the time they go to the gate for the preakness. The worst announcer out there ...hands down.

I'm a fan of CQ, but was expecting 8-1 - 10-1.
Putting him the 3rd choice only makes casual race fans bet him more, which I wasn't counting on.
With Nobiz winning the biggest 3-yo prep in NY, I figured he was a lock to be the 3rd favorite. With all the $$ being bet, it's really not that big of a deal.
I don't think anyone thought SNS would be the post time favorite last year.

With all of the runners, he would probably just keep saying "gaining ground" faster and faster until his head exploded.

I didn't read the whole thread, so I don't know if this is a joke....if it is...it's not funny....if it's not...you can't be serious.....Now I know I'm dating myself here, but I remember when I was a little guy watching the Dean Martin Celebrity roasts and there was a guy that played a drunk on those things named Foster Brooks....Well I'd rather he call the Derby than Battaglia.....hopefully there is someone on this board that knows who Foster Brooks was.....
