Default Worst Beat Ever still stings

Came across this today and it still stings 8 years later. I wound up winning the Pick 4 and was alive to the 1 and 4 in this leg. Vic actually made things worse for me by giving me about 5 minutes thinking I was on the verge of a massive score...

Wow that is your takeaway that I am redboarding an 8 year old 2-5 shot.. Whatever. I was sharing a bad beat story and was hoping others would post the same. As far as me bashing Vic, lol. Vic calls a great race. It is a shame he is unemployed, surely he can call a better race than a whole lot out there.

The Hollywood Gold Cup was the third leg in the pick 4 that day. Did you have All in the last leg? To be considered a tough beat was if Ace Blue had won and you had lost by a nose in the last leg.

Would you put Ed Burgart in the category of one of the worst T-bred announcers currently calling races? I don't follow all tracks, but I can't think of many worse?
