Relax. It's quite possible that the  would have lost the race even if the announcer didn't jinx it.

Grunder miscalls runners or the finish.
In other news, sky blue, water wet.

Grunder is an amateur compared to Harry Cheadle. You want some comic relief google this guy, a South African who does English language race calls for Swedish racing.

Who is the woman who also does the Swedish calls in english? She's much better than him. I love when she calls the drivers "stupid".

How does this guy keep that job?
One of my favorites for this guy..."in front, and strictly the one to beat!!!"

Ok, for beginners, it's "an" idiot, not "a" and it's "used".
Nothing he did cost you the win, your horse was not good enough.
Carry on.

So you call someone an idiot (Grunder), while writing like an idiot, and you get offended when called out.
Hilarious!

Grunder is not very good at announcing. He gets a lot of things wrong in a job where accuracy should matter most. But the people that run Tampa don't care so at this point it is just old news.
