Yeah I was actually thinking this was kinda fun, having Pletcher talk more than 5 words in a row. He did it pretty well. If he doesn't get a horse in the Derby for instance or some other big race, maybe they can borrow him for a few minutes. Now you knew for sure when Chris McCarron took a stab at it he wasn't gonna get the call to stick around and definitely didn't. Jerry clearly had the polish to do it "Piazza di Spag-na" aside.

Yeah, Chris always seemed to have a bit of a "twitch" about him..

Except for the really obvious errors the dark haired guy kept making all day long.

He's a joke - that's why they only let him out for friday night boxing and horse racing.
