I noticed that too.
That said --
Based on the calls of a lot of different announcers at a lot of different tracks over a lot of years - specifically while watching Roberts track video offered by ADWs:
I suspect the video part of the track signal and the soundtrack of the announcer's voice aren't always synchronized with each other.
Most of the time I notice this, it's because the announcer is already calling the name of the race winner as if he has already seen the horses cross the wire.
But the video part of the track signal is still showing the horses a little past the sixteenth pole.
And every once in a blue moon it's the other way around.
This is something I notice several times a week when watching Roberts track video delivered by ADWs.
Yet it's something I have never once noticed when attending the races live.
I noticed it today because I bet #5 MOSTLY HARMLESS (the horse John Imbriale called in front in the upper stretch) at a point in time when the video part of the Roberts track signal was clearly showing #4 SHE CAUGHT MY EYE as having already made the lead.
I suspect (but can't prove from 3000 miles away) that Roberts track video might be at fault here in today's SAR R2 as opposed to a blown call by the track announcer.
That said, anybody reading this post who was at Saratoga today and happened to catch the stretch run of today's R2 live:
YOU would know.
If that's the case, feel free to jump in and correct me.
