Excuse Larry Collmus while he wipes the egg off his face

[heavylifting]

Talk about blowing it big time. And you guys complain about Terry Wallace.

In Saturday's Wood Memorial, Trojan Nation, an 81-1 maiden shipping in from California nearly won the race rallying up the rail. Only Larry Collmus identified him as Adventist during the stretch run. It wasn't until the horses were pulling up around the clubhouse turn that Collmus -- to his credit -- mentioned that it was Trojan Nation that had nearly won the race.

The replay is easily accessible on the nyra.com website.

I know these guys are human, but expectations go up a ton when calling a grade 1...especially when it's a major prep for the KD!
