GFY. Apparently you think it's too much to ask that an announcer know the name of a 20+ length winner of the Kentucky Oaks.

Wiggins has got to be kicking himself. The Oaks is a nice race to win but he'll never have a better shot to win the Derby than he would have had with her. She never ran a damn step today. Never ran a step. I have no doubt that she is the best 3yo in the country and would have won the Derby. I was so so so so so wrong. Stardom Bound can't touch this horse. Last year, I wanted to see Zenyatta in the Classic. If Shirreffs wants to win another BC race with her this year, he better run in the Classic.

I'm glad nobody told Winning Colors or Funny Cide the Triple Crown series is supposed to be a showcase for stallions.

Would that be the Sheriff of Los Angeles county?

Or John Shirreffs?

Like I said you should call the race next time. The owners of Rachel Alexandra will support your bid for it.

I could care less if he called her Rachel Alexander or Alexandera and 99.9% would agree with me. A-holes like yourself want to criticize and knock people for a stupid reason

It was a passing comment. You're the one who's drawing this out. Quick, mention something about some random horse so you can pull up this thread in six months.

Wrong, this is not a stupid reason to criticize someone whose job it is to correctly pronounce names of racehorses and call them accordingly.

Sometimes people don't notice when it is a crappy claiming race at Turfway, but when you are calling one of the biggest races in America on national television it would be advisable to know the correct pronunciation of the likely favorite in an eight horse field.

Would you say the same if the guy working in the bay at the oil lube shop put in a drain plug that was too small and it fell out right when he put it in?

99.9% of people probably wouldn't care I guess... close enough.
