ALINGHI is 1-1 with 3 minutes to post. No one else is under 9-1. I won't put the results on here so you can see it or listen to it yourself. They're in the gate!

SS,

I have to say that your racecallers over there don't even come close to ours.

Tom Durkin is a bit of an ass. You can certainly tell who he has. He loves Jerry Bailey. Check out Trevor Denman in California (Del Mar)("And away they go"). He's very clear and calls an exciting race, putting some color in it. He's South African I think. Did they broadcast the call from Saratoga or was it just somebody on TV??? I wondered how you guys would rate the race call. Dave Johnson is another announcer who has an overdone catch phrase (and down the stretch they come). Alright in a big stretch duel amongst good horses, but in a cheap maiden claimer, it gets old.

Alinghi far too good.

The bloke from Bay Meadows is entertaining. "And theeeeeeeeeeeere they goooooooooo".

FA!!!! Contiinental Reins just won the 9th at Saratoga and I tapped out early today. Been waiting for him (or it-gelding) to run back since late July. Hope he doesn't pay much. Bunch of seconds got me earlier. Doesn't matter what hemisphere your in, it's always the same! And the horse the finished second is trained by ANgel Penna.

He wasn't too entertaining yesterday when he was beating me in every race!! LOL!

hehehe, he's got the day off today.

So did Alinghi win?

Not sure who the caller was, but he just didn't seem to put any excitement into it at all. And how many were in the race, because he only called the first 3 or 4 over the line, another thing that we just couldn't get used to over here.

A good win by Alinghi. At least I think it was a good win. A bit hard to tell from the lack of excitement in the call. What did you think, SS?

Kiwi's have the most excitable callers followed by the Aussie's if i had to listen to Yankee callers all day it would be enough to make me give up the punt
