Love this guy. A vital part of the derby is his voice.

Absolutely love Larry. There’s an interview with him preparing how he prepares for race day. He studies like a student of the sport. He memorized the horse’s names as well as the jockey’s. He has flash cards that he memorizes the names by as well as what colors they’ll be wearing on race day. That’s not all, he also has to remember the name’s of the alternates in case a horse has to be scratched. Larry Collmus is the ultimate professional!

This is an incredibly difficult job. I cannot imagine how hard it would be to think so fast on your feet in order to call a horse race. I read a comment of someone criticizing Collmus, especially his call last year of Rich Strike's KY Derby win, how Rich came out of nowhere, Collmus didn't even notice him until late, and Collmus was speechless. It was a stunning race that surprised everyone. I think Collmus does his job not only exceptionally well but dramatically so, adding to the race's excitement for the fans and viewers.

This jockey really knew how to ride this beautiful horse. When I seen him coming around on the final turn and him coming up on verify you could tell this horse is going to win

No comparen a mage con Cañonero..esta fue una carrera de USA más

I wonder if it's harder (not that it's not always difficult, with such a large field) for Collmus, now, since he's no longer calling races on a regular basis (at a track, 8-10 races a day, several days a week), having taken a job as an on-air race analyst for TVG. Race calling is a skill you lose, if you don't keep it up, for sure.

Mage no representa a Venezuela, Cañonero II si lo logró..

2 years in a row the derby winner only had a maiden win to its credit...I can't handicap that, throw a dart on the board...but sneaky 15 to 1...abc, 123, 322

So we've for sure settled on "Mayj"? Not "Mahj" or rhyming with "Madge"?

Mage and his cute little parrot mouth won lol he's a good horse, I believed he had a chance

Travis stone is a lot better imo. He goes through the all the horses and where they are at on the first turn. Him and Chris Griffin are good. He’s missed several calls that were historical races. Collumus never would have said “he’s moving like a tremendous machine”

I don’t like the way Larry Collmus calls a race , he acts too precise , if the first quarter is run 22 .50 that’s the way he calls it twenty two and point five 0 seconds, instead of twenty two and two . Anyone who has been around racing knows that it means twenty two and two fifths . We could use old favorites like Fred Capossela and Tommy Roberts, they knew how to call a race .Another reason is the way he blew last years Kentucky Derby, when he never saw Rich Strike coming on the inside which was open as the Turnpike until the last second , then he almost choked to death .

Love Larry bt this was not one of his best calls IMO

So glad to see Pletcher, Cox not win. They are part of the demise of horse racing industry imo.

My man just made 50Gs in 2 mins

This is not a good race call. This person just call horses names as opposed to calling a horse race. There is a big difference. A good race caller would have seen the race evolving at the top of the straight and call it, this guy was more interested in his "and they're into the stretch"' soundbite.He didn't mention Mage until he nearly took the lead. I think it was this guy who totally screwed up last years race call.

He called four places but even that was difficult to ascertain. He called first and fourth place but otherwise said something about a photo. This was the worst Derby call I can remember.
