As I remember, it was "Tote Bag day" at Del Mar that day. The guy wanted to commit suicide but changed his mind when the field went by the 1/8th pole.

The best comments the chartcallers ever produce never make into the charts -- I can remember some gems from the likes of Duspiva, Gore and Guilliams (now departed, RIP) and more than a few who are still working that made an otherwise bad day at the windows memorable.

BTW, Jack Wilson's brother, Dave "Snake" Wilson, was chartcaller at Delta Downs and was the first to notice in that now infamous race that Sly Carmouche came out of the fog bank way too early and pointed it out to the stewards.
