I agree completely. i was thrilled that he would be calling and i hope he gets another shot next year - -though the juvy and the distaff were suspect.

the tv in my hotel room in chicago was so fuzzy that you couldn't make out the silks or numbers on the saddle cloths, so due to his call i thought great hunter was winning the juvy when i saw the horse sneaking up the middle.

a sixteenth of a mile later i realized that my ticket was good after all.

i thought he did a fine job though, in the other six races -- totally as good as i would expect from him. he sees things happen before they do, i love it.
