Absolutely cherished Mr. Colmus's call, something like:

"Verrazano runs away - he's gonna win this one from Brooklyn to Staten island." (Verrazano is the famous bridge that connects the two cities)

Greatest call since the 2005 Darby.

Gave me chills.

Vic Stauffer is the best announcer that track has ever had! worst mistake they ever made was getting whats his face!Mr boring from Suffolk I know em as. Listen to so many of Stauffers calls that make you jump out of your seat and scream YEESSSSS! Listen to a replay of the stretch run of the Donn where Brass Hat wins and tell me that doesn't give you a stiffy coming down the stretch. That's the problem with these european NWO idiots like figure they know better than everybody else look who he replaced cute little Jessica Pacheco and hit man coletti with ,Marble voice and block jacque shalock from Canader inept and boring especially her.

Collmus and Lies are the worst and most overrated track announcers in the country. Both are just horrible.

He won an Allowance / Optional Claiming race NW of X at a mile carrying 118 lbs, beating 4 nobodies? Good time, though.

Sometime in the future there will be a Derby where all 20 horses will be trained by only three trainers.
Thank God for the Federal Reserve. You can't have big government or big wars without them.

Todd "I have no clue how to train a 3yr old for the Derby" Pletcher will have this horse,like dozens of others, ready to win the one turn Peter-Pan,no the the Ky Derby.No trainer has done so little with SO MUCH in racing history.
