that is a little bad. I wonder if he is calling the race through a video feed or through the binocs. If they do use video feed it could be a few seconds delayed as opposed to others. For example watch a tv program on digital cable and the same one on regular or attena and the digital is about 3 seconds slower.
If that is not the case that is kind of sad. I love the guy!!!!

It was only a five horse field ... and two of the five trailed badly throughout.

It's not as if it were a cavalry charge like the Kentucky Derby.

He still does a great job on most races ... but that special quality he once had is slowly slipping away.

Not to say he was using a video feed but "if" he was it wouldn't matter if it was a five horse field or a ten horse field the feed is still slower.

He is not calling by watching a video feed.
