Well, you didn't show your respect for Sturgis by calling her "an unheralded and fairly unknown sophomore" while mentioning Steiner by her name.
Point taken!
Truthfully, I was not sure how to spell Sturgis' name and was too lazy to look it up, but no excuse. However, I did not choose to do it on national tv as she crossed the line to her second win of the day.
I called her "unheralded and fairly unknown" (my words) because she was not very high on most any prediction or form charts, and not at all on some. I intended that to be praise that she was MUCH better than anyone nationally previously knew. If you see it otherwise I take responsibility for poor communication.
