I wish the BC would consider some one else. Maybe Vic Staufer.

One of my big complaints with TD is that he NEVER gives the fractions of the race. This is information that people want to know. It does tell a lot about how the race is unfolding, does he not realize that?
The fractions are on the t.v. Why would you need him to say them?

The Tampa guy is Richard Gurndler. He actually filled in for Caterbury guy Paul Allen when Allen would miss time to call Vikings games on the radio. Grundler's "nasally" voice does get annoying, but it could be worse. Do we need to start talking about Battaglia now?

Grunder should stick to his job as a jockey agent which he is at Canterbury.
By the way, you may want to proofread your posts more carefully.

Proofread? whtizpruufreed? Yeah you're right though... Beside Derek Bell, who can't seem to ride anywhere but Canterbury now, who else does Grunder represent?

At Canterbury, he was the agent for Martin Escobar as well as apprentices Preto Espindola and Jenna Joubert. Don't know about Tampa.

Well we don't have what each horse looks like memorized most of the time, so it makes sense to call them. Only the first 4 horses are usually labeled on the t.v. screen.

But fractions are there on the top right. It's good enough for me.
