You would have thought the horse was a 1-5 shot....not a 9-2 shot. But because it was his guy's horse, Stauffer went on and on as the horse moved. It's amazing in a big field that he would do something like that. Especially with a horse who was not going to win (as it turned out the horse on the lead jumped into the rail...so the 5 did get up).

It's really an embarassment to Hollywood Park that they would have a guy who is so biased towards his jock's mounts call the races there. Tonight's pandering to his guy's horse was beyond ridiculous. I guess because Hollywood is on it's way out they really don't care. Hopefully whatever track picks up the dates has an announcer who isn't also a jock's agent.
The only embarrassment here is you, bro. Who even thinks about the jockey on the horse who picks up the pieces on a freak turn of events anyways? The horse made a nice move, Vic would have been an embarrassment to NOT mention the move. I just watched the race again. You're even more embarrassing now than four minutes ago when I started this. Gotta love internet tough guys.
