i have been watching the gate punching now for the past 10 years, the funny thing is that these privileged guys today are not the greatest gate callers that i have ever seen. i have seen plenty of outside horses go from 8-1 to 12-1 out of the gate with a 3 length lead! sometimes these guys are calling the wrong horse!. when i use to call the break i never got it wrong because i memorized color of the caps on the outside horses. it also depends upon what angle the television feed is. most of the time it is a sideways feed, but in Maryland you get both the pan shot and the head on. the head on is great for canceling tickets.
