5/19 (PIM): 137th Preakness S. (G1), 6 Undercard Stakes

[slotdirt]

No excuses there. Track, as Baffert said about 13 times, was playing a little slower than usual today, but Bodemeister got to run his race and still couldn't hold off I'll Have Another.

It was around 10 lengths back to Creative Cause, who ran pretty much the same race he always runs.

Ya, California based horses suck

I love Larry Culmus, but how great would Tom Durkin been in that call???

Larry Callmiss is so plain vanilla and he was screeching at the end of the call. Tom Durkin is and always will be the king of the triple crown callers

I completely agree about Larry, it's just that Tom Durkin has the ability to give you chills by his call alone. The Ferdinand/Alysheba call gives me goosebumps to this day.

Durkin would've called the winner Itsagoodtendollars. And wished he had ten dollars on him.

I saw nothing wrong with Larry's call. Nothing.

That race didn't need an announcer to make it exciting. Larry is a cool customer who rarely screams. I thought the call was pro and the drama was provided by the race itself.

Who claimed California horses suck? Sounds like you have an inferiority complex.

I knew he was done when I saw how close he was to the pace.

He's an Ice Box type if you want to be a little kind and a Make Music For Me type if you want to be a jerk about it.
