It was so bad that you almost have to feel bad for the guy. I think it's finally time for him to hang up the binoculars.

It seemed like someone kept trying to talk to him, thus distracting him.

That, or he was stoned.

Did Wallace mention Thunder Gulch again? He must have been disappoointed on Thursday when he learned that Shotgun Gulch, not Thunder Gulch, was running in that stakes at Kee.

Sad. Very sad. I am an Oaklawn fan through and through. And Terry Wallace is Oaklawn.

I believe TW would have stepped aside before this year but has some personal difficulties that forced him to remain. Hopefully, a reorganization will occur before next meet and he will move to a public relations position where he can better serve a place he truly loves.

I was watching the stream of the Arkansas Derby and I thought the feed was screwed up because of all the gaps in the call.

Just watched it. Obviously it was not good, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I had expected given the comments here. Really no worse than a typical race call from him.

More's the pity.

That was unbelievable. I actually got up in the first of those silences to see if my headphones' plug had fallen out.
