Did anyone hear Dave Johnson's call of the W.Virginia Derby?

[Rupert Pupkin]

He forgot to say "And down the stretch they come!" Then he realized that he forgot to say it after the horses had passed the 1/16th pole. Then he said something like "It's Bright One drawing away. And down the stretch come the others." It was a terrible call. I couldn't believe it. He used to be a really good announcer. When I first started going to the track back in the early 1980s, he was the track announcer at Santa Anita.
