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.

Hope he makes a full recovery, best wishes to him for that. That will be very strange not here Grunder, i think he does a nice job. Bobby's an ok fill in, but hurry back Richard.

Its really the best of both worlds there now, his ridiculous race calls and you can see what is actually going on with Trackus.

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.
