John Perrotta showed it to me last week while I was in Florida.. Glad you posted it because I told someone about it and wanted to find it!

I say the announcer bounces next time back.

What was that horse 20 lengths back in the stretch? Looked like it.

If it were Battaglia calling the race, instead of 20 Todo Ca's, you would have had just one GAAAAIIIINNNG GROUND!, just as the closing horse passed the leader.

OTOH, if it were Denman he would have caught it just as the horse moved out of last place, "and now making a strong move on the grandstand side".

Absolutely right (and hilarious) on both counts!!
I would have love to have heard Durkin call that race, and Vic probably would have had a heart attack

I can only assume that "TODA!!" is Japanese for Bald Eagle.
