What's really odd is that the first 3 races were all won by well fancied runners, so how the 4th could be construed as another head scratcher is quite weird.

Check out his comment for the winner in race 6 too.

Better yet, what the fudge was he smoking in that last race? That chart caller was drunk or stoned.

Wow - great catch.

The winner of the 6th race "obviously benifited from the addition of blinkers"

While the winner of the 9th race "drew clear after a mile" - in what was just a 6 furlong race.

The Fat Man is going to love that these guys calling the charts that he makes his Fat Graphs with can be that bad.

I have never seen a chart that comments on equipment let alone say "Head Scratcher"

I usually read "lacked room, bumped, bothered, taken up and not enough late"

this chart caller has an investment and is a sore loser
