It's Your Job

If you are a horse race announcer, you know you are going to see Spanish names, both from riders and horses, so I find it unacceptable that the Monmouth announcer repeatedly called Hermosillo, Her-mo-sil-o.

Even the new announcer at Churchill has some problems along this line (although Johnson is probably following that British tradition of ignoring pronunciation if it isn't English. I notice that even Gordon Ramsey makes Pie-ella). Luke prided himself on getting the names right. Let's get back to that shall we?
