I don't think so. You're talking to a guy that constantly second guesses and criticizes trainers and owners for decisions they make. Comment all you want. Just seems that some think it's so easy and mistakes can't be made and I think that's unrealistic. To take a guy that's calling over 1000 races a year for over 20 years and harp on his mistakes and say "he's no good because he made this mistake", that seems like a bit much to me. Like I said, I love the guy. Think he's the best in the business but even I criticized his blown call on Street Sense. That was horrible. I've heard him make other horrible calls over the years too. But they don't overshadow what I think have been many, many brilliant ones.

I didn't see anyone say he's no good. He's obviously competent. I just think he's really overrated.

Terry Wallace seems like a nice guy and all, but I will be glad when he retires.

I'd rather listen to Fran Drescher on a megaphone than Battaglia. He's unbearable.
