Hypothetically, if he wasn't Rosario's agent. How much different do you think his call of the race would have been? The horse made a major move coming from last 10 lengths back within an 1/8 of a mile. What do you think, he would have mentioned it once and then went back to the front of the pack where 3 out of the 4 horses looked like they were done anyway. There would have probably been people around here bashing him for missing such a big move. But the point is that Rosario's horse was the only one who looked like a contender coming into the top of the stretch. That's not his fault and I want to believe that Vic would have called it the same way whether it was Rosario or Garcia aboard.
As far as the comment. I laughed it off as a guy who's in the buisness that takes his share (some warrented and mostly non warrented) abuse around here. He does take alot. In my opinion (which I know doen't mean anything to anyone else) this one goes into the non warrented category. Obviously I think the call was fine.
