I didn't see any problem with Bejarano ride.
When the jockeys are in a race can they even hear the announcers? I ask because Vic mentioned finish line twice in race. I have also heard announcers at other tracks say stuff like 'pull-up pull-up' when there was a problem near or on stretch or near finish line (like starting gate vehicle not moving or horse/jockey down). When I have been near the rail during a race as the horses go by, all I heard was a roar of hoof beats and occasional whistle or scream of jockey.

It's not personal. I've HEAPED praise on RAFA for his red hot start.
If I'm not transparent IMO I lose credibility with the fans.
As for my first year and mistakes.
I was VERY sick with a debilitating affliction called Hyperparathyroidism.
Great to pull something from 7 years ago to justify a weak take.
Nice

I don't understand infrequent posters that take swipes out of the blue at people they never previously interacted with.

You're a frequent poster who has posted in this thread despite also saying you don't know who many of the current track announcers even are. So why is your ignorant but frequently stated opinion better than the informed opinion of someone who doesn't post often?
Answer: It's not.

So I guess you need a certain number of posts to call someone out?

You must have a guilty conscience as I was referring to the guy ripping on Vic who posts once every 3 months, not you. I just told you I don't recall track announcers names, BFD. I remember the track announcers names from tracks I play frequently, not somewhere I put my toe in the water a couple times. You assume to be implying unless someone has memorized every track announcers name, a person has no business commenting on their performance? You are an obvious jerk, calling me ignorant out of nowhere.
What did I post that was ignorant in your opinion? You have nothing.

I was not implying that. I am talking about people that all they do is take pot shots at people out of the blue and there doesn't seem to be any reason for it. Basically every post they make is kicking dirt on someone for the first time.

Rode past the finish line.
Stauffer , twice during the race , made note of the fact thr finish line was at the 16th pole. I'd assume for the viewers benefit , that it was a short stretch, the wire 1/2 a furlong up track.. I believe Peter Aiello does it similarly at GP. Refers to it THE FIRST FINISH LINE.

John Velazquez was fined $4,017 and suspended one day (Dec. 10) for striking Mind Control 7 times, one more than permitted by HISA, in winning Grade 1 Cigar Mile. The $4,017 represents 10-percent of what Velazquez earned for winning the race.

I didn't see the ride out, but if he was getting into the horse after the line, he could of stepped on this minefield.

I'm sure in Johnny's eyes, it was worth it

The booth at Parx needs to be dubbed the hyperventilation station.

Pretty harsh stuff, but what do I know.

As expected, Brisk Urging has already deleted the @Cappingraces account. Quite a coincidence it happened right after you posted his Tweet here. Will be fun to see him try to pretend it wasn't his account.
At least there's a screenshot.
