Default Get Well Richard Grunder

Track announcer Grunder to miss beginning of meet
Richard Grunder, the track announcer at Tampa Bay Downs since 1984, will miss the first seven days of the meet as he completes his rehabilitation following minor eye surgery. During Grunder’s absence, Bobby Neuman, the announcer at Calder Race Course, which concluded its meet Friday, will call the races.

I don't see how his impaired vision will affect the quality of his calls. If anything, it might force him to pay more attention to the names of the horses.

Rumor has it that Rudeboy is putting a claim ticket in for the 10th race. He thinks $62,500 for Diner In Odem is a steal.
