Opening day 2007.... First race - there's a horse called Ecclesiastic Cat (or something very similar, perhaps Bigs can recall) Our boy completely butchers the things name 15 SECONDS into the meet....


A record I'm sure will stand for decades

I don't remember the horse's name, but I do remember it was a 1 1/16th race and he botched the name before they got to the wire for the first time. Less than a 1/16th of a mile into the meet.

That said, I have nothing but love for Richard Grunder.

I think it was the double header day last year when we saw him downstairs in the simulcast area about 15 seconds after calling the last race. It was at that moment when my love for everything Grunder skyrocketed

The best one ever was when he was pronouncing the "t" in "Promise Me Merlot" race.

I Don't blame him, even Byk could butcher a name like that.

You really think I would mispronounce 'ecclesiastic'?

One name I did botch recently was Jeranimo's as I heard him called Jerr-a-Nemo early on and can't get it out of my head.
