What does a horses build have to do with anything?

The man is an INSTITUTION in Tampa, although if one only listened to his calls without watching the race, said person would probably need to be institutionalized after trying to figure out who actually won and where the winner came from, but that's beside the point

I think Sheets should take that photo every year. It could be his own personalized Grunder Growth Chart.

I just spoke to him about that. We'll get an updated photo Saturday, provided you are willing to once again be the photographer.

Grunder is Tom Durkin compared to Terry Wallace. He might mis-pronounce names all the time but at least he gives you a good general idea what's going on. Wallace is absolutely dreadful. He botches names, calls the wrong horses, has giant pauses in his calls, it's just embarassing at times.

The promo for Ferdinand on HRTV this Sunday night included a little snippet from his owner where she discusses how the announcer didn't even call him until the eighth pole. Who was on the mike that afternoon? Battaglia...

That's my goal on Saturday. If only we could get The Waz in it too, that would be greatest picture of all time!
