It's obvious that some are obsessed with finding mistakes with Denman's calls...and holding the Pine Island non-call tight to their chest like it's worth something.
Get over it. If you are letting the racecall effect you that much in the age of HD television, then you have issues that require professional help. Or maybe just a hug from that sweaty security guard at walmart.

Agreed.
It's not like we could all agree on the "best announcer" anyway. If we could we'd also all bet on the same horse as well. Trevor is as good as anyone. Spyder Quote:

he is really not suitable for the breeders cup races. he seems to choke.
yesterday in the turf race in the stretch he called that it was nownownow making the big move form the back, but all through the stretch he didn't mention the horse that everyone could see was tracking nownownow closely and pushing him to the wire, achill island. you could see it was two horses driving to the wire, he just didn't bother mentioning who the second place horse was until after the wire. my guess is that he didn't know who it was. and then of course as others pointed out he totally missed maryfield until they were pretty much at the wire. there are so many better alternatives, i don't think he'll have this gig very long.

I don't get to hear him call many races, apart from the breeder's cup. He did get a few things wrong yesterday though. He missed the winner of the sprint (as was mentioned), he called Achill Island "Achill Hill" and to be honest for an experienced race caller getting a name wrong is inexcusable.
He never even mentioned Achill Hill...... sorry, Achill Island under after they had crossed the line again. Even though the horse was only beaten by a head. It was all Nownownow. "Nownownow looks like he's joined in at the quarter pole" even though Achill Island was in front at that point. Having said that when i was at Santa Anita for the Big 'Cap this year i thought the calls of all the races were very good (i assume it was him). If we are talking about bad race callers, who is the guy who calls at Turfway? Not only is he very annoying, but he only seems to speak every five to ten seconds. "and they're off" long pause "(horses name) takes the lead" long pause "oh, and there goes (horses name) right by" long pause.............. I used to enjoy the calls from Bay Meddows. Who used to call there?
