Sounds like the U-verse radio ads in my area, which are a rip of W. Macy’s portrayal of McGlaughlin in the 2003 version of Seabiscuit….

Lost in the superlatives for Zenyatta and Trevor was the outstanding job done by the guy who held onto Quality Road while that horse was throwing a fit.

As the horses loaded into the gate for the BC Classic, Quality Road began bucking then broke throught the stall. The alert assistant starter held onto the reigns and led Quality Road in circles while being careful to not be kicked by this out-of-control wild horse.

Had Quality Road been allowed to run off, this million-dollar colt could have hurt himself and a much longer delay would have ensued as outriders chased the animal down. The assistant starter risked serious injury by holding onto Quality Road and he did an great job of calming the horse down.

Forget Goldman Sachs workers, this assistant starter is somebody who really deserves a bonus.

Good job with the horse racing post. Didn’t know you had it in you, Brooks.

I watched Zenyatta win the BC Classic at a Las Vegas race & sports book where it was too loud to hear Trevor’s words. It was exciting, but when I heard Denman’s call on the replay a day later I was definitely overcome with emotion.

Since 1994, I’ve watched horse races every day and this was the most exciting race I’ve ever seen. Zenyatta’s performance was huge, but Denman’s call was just as amazing..

Denman does a great job every day in So. Cal. putting the races into context and now the world knows that he is a master of his craft.

Mine the Bird’s win at the Kentucky Derby 2009 was a remarkable come from last place win too …

Tho the announcer call in that completely sucked… he didn’t even see Mine the Bird in the lead until at the end

Good piloting of the wonder horse through traffic by Mike Smith

Yeah, it was a great call, but the horse was the story not the announcer.

She is a mare not a filly
