I am not sure who is more painful to listen to...the announcer from Tampa Bay Downs or Denman...first he called "Now Victory", Victory Now the entire race...I am not sure he even called Go Between until the far turn...then down the stretch he must have spilled his drink on his program..Electrify is going the better of the two..errrrr GoBetween goes on...there has to be someone a tad better at their job then these 2?????
Actually just listened to it again...he called Go Between..."Electrify" on the first turn...called Celtic Dreams..Seminole Native turning for home...I mean come on...

I DON'T HAVE A CLUE HOW HE MIXED THESE 2 UP.If one of the horses with green silks had won,then I could see him calling it Electrify,but the winner is all white silks.To me,the turqoise used for the 9 number is pretty much a stand-out(compared to all the colors of numbers.)I guess when horses are making moves that quickly,that's when mistakes calling races seem to happen.

Does any one know how long Trevor's contract is with the Breeder's Cup? I think his calls are just plain bad.

I wish the BC would consider some one else. Maybe Vic Staufer.

One of my big complaints with TD is that he NEVER gives the fractions of the race. This is information that people want to know. It does tell a lot about how the race is unfolding, does he not realize that?

If he gave them today, nobody would have believed him anyway!

We all make mistakes.

I'm surprised, but really... if we make a mistake in our work? It's not the end of the world. It's really easy to sit here and judge but i can't imagine calling race after race and not messing up occassionally.

(Oh I am NOT being sanctimonious..... I just like the guy.)

Well, I work in the operating room, so if I make a mistake, it actually could be the end of the world for someone...

Hospitals and doctors are the leading cause of death in the USA!

I'm glad you people are getting it right!

The fractions are on the t.v. Why would you need him to say them?

[onebadbeast]

this oaklawn caller is no prize either!

The Tampa guy is Richard Gurndler. He actually filled in for Caterbury guy Paul Allen when Allen would miss time to call Vikings games on the radio. Grundler's "nasally" voice does get annoying, but it could be worse. Do we need to start talking about Battaglia now?

Grunder should stick to his job as a jockey agent which he is at Canterbury.
By the way, you may want to proofread your posts more carefully.

So are the horses...

Well we don't have what each horse looks like memorized most of the time, so it makes sense to call them. Only the first 4 horses are usually labeled on the t.v. screen.

But fractions are there on the top right. It's good enough for me.

I think I'd rather hear Denman call the wrong horse down the stretch than hear that guy at Tampa scream from start to finish. How does that guy have a job?
