While he appears to be quite educated otherwise, poor Tom is as clueless as the greenest bug boy when it comes to identifying setups/race dynamics. If you just had his audio to work with, more often than not, you wouldn't have a clue what your horse was doing in a particular race OR whether you had a chance to win before he announced the final order.

On the one hand, we have dinosaurs like Durkin. On the other, we have the present prototype, Vic Stauffer, who, apparently, given his comments in the takedown thread, isn't exactly at the skill level we once thought. (I needn't mention the stumbling mumbler, Denman --- if he only had a lisp, it would be absolutely unprecedented.)

In a different planet, where dinosaurs are extinct, we have Trakus. There's a certain pleasure to being able to CORRECTLY follow your horses around the tract, it's flat out exciting, as you can over at WO, for example. Of course, some prefer Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
