I only bet at OTB so I literally have seen or heard all of these comments.

One guy who called for 20 combinations during a race got the nickname

" Call em all". Still comes in and us old timers only know him by that name.

Another guy at the top of the backstretch will yell TAKE THE PICTURE NOW.

Pisses everybody off. One guy will literally stand under the overhanging

tvs and yell Where's the wire or pick up your feet for the entire 1.55 of a

a sulky race in a high pitched voice. It kinda makes me laugh while I'm

writing this but it sure is aggrevating while the race is going on.

I love the guys who scream at the top of their lungs while watching a race and rooting for their horses and then when their horse(s) are out of the race they yell for your horse to get beat. Ha ha though I am not a yeller, I have seen this number take place a bunch of times through out the years. hey, if they aren't going to win the race they don't want you to win either. LOL

Commenting during the race on how things are unfolding. As if I care what someone else's take is on what we are watching.

And don't talk to me during the race, or launch into a story as they are loading. If you're watching a horserace with me, unload your fidgety, self-doubting nervousness in some other manner.

We have a older gentleman at our track who love's to yell loudly for his best bet of the day, usually it will be 1-9 and he has wagered a whole $1.00 on this horse. And then cusses loudly if it does not win.

There was some guy at mnr who specialized in big win bets on 1/5 locks. A rude, dismissive moron who would dash around the grandstand after a winner screaming "I'm so happy for me... SOOOO happy for me,,so happy for ME."

He owned a bakery and , believe it or not (you can't make this stuff up), ended up falling into a huge oven and getting crisped.

When I heard about it, I was happy for me.

Yea, sorry...Guilty as charged.

I have found ,myself doing this, but only to explain to a noob I have with me what the "pace" setup is...

If we are on a closer, and they run the first 1/4 in 21 , I will (quickly) explain why this might be good for us, even though we are running dead last...

Point taken though...

I'll try to be a reformed offender

I don't mind a guy whipping his hip with his program, but I hate it he whips MINE~!

I hate it when my jock is drinking a coffee during the race.

Okay- Story from long ago.

I am at Santa Anita, standing under the TV just biding my time before the next race. Two or three others are standing with me when they begin to show the replay.

Up comes this big loudmouth guy, who we can only assume has been in the bathroom. They're down the backstretch and this guy is excited about his horse at a huge price. Very excited.

The horse is on big open lengths and he is really beginning to jump up and down.

We're just watching, and trying not to laugh because we know the horse fades in the stretch.

Suddenly he realizes that it's a replay, looks at us and says, "He lost didn't he?" We nod. He walks away and we spend 10 minutes laughing at him.

I guess he found another TV hangout because we never saw him again.

Man, that is pretty harsh. Nobody could annoy me such that an incident like that would make me happy, and I'm guessing it didn't you either.

2nd race yesterday at Del Mar. Apprentice Laura Werner (who I like) had the lead and had a shot to win. Had the lead and should have gone LEFT HANDED to come out a little. I was yelling "go left handed" over and over. What does she do? She goes right handed. I even yelled it on Twitter.

I yell nothing at all and remain calm (and professional?) unless my horse is a longshot over 10-1. Then I just say loudly "C'mon with this 7 horse" or whatever number it is.
