That's fair, it depends on the vantage point where you are calling from and I can understand that. I just don't remembering a high profile racecaller calling a horse in as close a finish as in this Kilroy and being so sure of themselves. This wasn't a 10K claimer on a lazy Thurs afternoon, it's certainly not the norm.

Big deal. The guy has a good eye for photos. Last time I checked, we have replays, so it doesn't really matter. It doesn't cancel out all of his other annoying traits.

I told you that using this is like saying "I'm Joey the O.C.D. guy."

I don't understand this. He's annoying. He's not enraging, he's annoying. Why can't I say this again?

You can do anything you want. I am not saying to stop doing it.

Yeah

At one time, a very distant time, I thought this board was more for BETTORS than casual 'fans'. As a better I want MORE PRECISE DATA, which includes video. PERIOD!! **** all the superfluous ****. The race caller has no role in this. I don't need 50%, 75%, or whatever, accuracy. I NEED 100% ACCURACY!! So give me TRAKUS and mute the monkey (to balance out the cost).

Now, I find it IRONIC that in an age of TECHNOLOGICAL EXPLOSION, where MORE is the norm, that SA, (one of Denman's employers) is NOT SHOWING FULL HEADON REPLAYS. And they haven't for a while. (Of course, they even further truncate these replays in the case of spills -- wouldn't want to be politically INcorrect now, would we?) They must figure we're all FANS and are SO IMPRESSED by their monkey getting a photo correct that we could care less about the more precise aspects of the game.

This is yet another example of why the ****in game is lagging WAY BEHIND THE TIMES.

Eyes for horse shooting up the rail > good eyes for photo's

amen. who cares? even if he calls it wrong, does it make any difference at all? i never understood the tv announcers who are "afraid" to call it. it's like they're worried they might make someone tear up their ticket.
