If somebody is at the track please find a gun, give it to trevor denman and let him pull the trigger. Maryfield made a gigantic move and didnt get a call until she was under the wire. Something needs to be done about him.

Very good point. You could her moving nicely down the stretch. He is 0-1 this year in BC races.

I like him too, but with this surface this race has become a complete crapshoot I think.
Figuring out how they will run on a course that is a little wet and/or soft is one thing, but this bog makes it really tough to predict how 2yos will perform.

I know I needn't play the "I wonder if you could do it better" angle -- but are you serious with this?

Missing Street Sense last year is one thing. Wasting time wringing your hands over the fact that he didn't have a super crisp call when nobody could see a GD thing until just outside the final sixteenth seems a bit over the top.

Then again, that is to be expected, I suppose.

Perhaps Maryfield was easy to find if Maryfield was the only horse you were following around the track. Cut the guy a break on trying to announce ten horses in the middle of a Jersey monsoon.

Too rational, I'm certain.

I do understand the monsoon factor but the move in itself was spectacular! you couldnt miss it and hes calling the horses on the rail. Anything outside the 3 path hes blind to.
