Today's 4th marked the second time (in a very limited watching of his GPW race calls) where the fill-in announcer did not catch that a horse (in this case the #1) did not get away from the gate, and just described him during the race as if he was at the rear of the field.
I'd surmise that this is due to things like this not happening in harness (or at least being more immediately visible in relation to the rest of the field).
