They have to keep restocking their fans because the matches last so long that many die of boredom before the conclusion.

Looks like ESPN is bringing in their own guy to call the races...Larry Collmus. Good choice. I always liked the guy.

http://www.thebigm.com/blogs.aspx


"Hats off to my golfing partner Larry Collmus, the voice of Monmouth Park, who’ll be calling Zenyatta’s next race for ESPN, and once again he’ll be Trevor Denman’s Breeders Cup back-up at Churchill Downs.



Undefeated in 18 career starts, the great Zenyatta is scheduled to race in the Grade 1 $250,000 Lady’s Secret Stakes at Hollywood Park on October 2.



I’m very happy for Larry, who’s such a dedicated and respected professional."

Very happy for Larry. Warkentin is right....he is a dedicated and respected professional.

Thumbs up for larry

Congrats Larry!

Breaks my heart. First Larry get's Vic's job at GP, now this. IMO Collmus couldn't warm Vic up.

Nothing like a hit and run poster with an agenda. This was your first post since this:

ESPN and Gulfstream seem to think differently.

I bet they met at an interstate rest stop.

Funny, I also looked to see what my last post was and saw that. I'm a busy guy. Normally I scroll around and someone else will say what I'm thinking, so no worries.

I guess i get fired up about this topic because we're talking about someone who's just about a monotone vs someone who adds real excitement to the races. JMO

Did you mean perfervid?

I admit, I had to look that one up.

Characterized by intense emotion is what it means.

Question..
 
Why does the BC need Larry to be Trevor's back-up? Wouldn't Mark Johnson fill that role?

Indian Charlie 10-24-2010 12:35 AM
I would pay $100 to have Smoothie Operator be the official caller of the BCC, if Z actually runs in the race.

He'd either blow an artery in his brain if she won, or commit suicide on air if she lost.

It would be a win win situation for everyone involved, especially Smoothie himself.

Just guessing here, but maybe Larry has a contract with ESPN. Didn't Larry call a few races for ESPN a few weeks ago?

I'm guessing you knew that.
