Larry Collmus.....

Bobby Neuman would say "it's too close to call" when the winning margin is a half a length.

Why is Tom Durkin not a candidate?

Since I am unfamiliar with most of the announcers, I will vote for Larry Collmus. My favorite call from him thus far is in this year's infamous Monmouth Stakes where at the beginning of the race he said, "And Big Brown broke like a rocket."

I didn't realize Travis was such a pup.

Umm because Tom Durkin probably isn't interested in leaving NYRA for Churchill.

well, obviously they should just battaglia to come back.




or NOT!!

Why not Kurt Becker?

My vote goes to my fellow Englishman Mark Johnson :D

PLEASE NO!!!

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaining ground...Up on the ooooooooooutside.

I don't think these guys are in contention for the job, just filling in..right? Still think Dooley leaves AP and they bring Bill Downe's jr to Arlington. Although..I'm not sure Dooley would want to leave...nice long meet

I think Bill Sr. should be given a shot:tro:

They Harry Carey of horse racing:eek:

Very cool for Travis Stone.

Congrats Travis.


Whew. No Richard Grunder. That means he remains at Tampa. I was almost scared to click the link.

:tro: :tro:

He could work, "Curlin spelled backwards is Nilruc" into his race call.....

Travis has been doing an excellent job at Louisiana Downs, I wanted to mention that.

Collmus is consistently good, one of my favorites...

long term, I'd vote for Kurt Becker or Travis Stone (or me!)

Not explicitly, BUT:

"This showcase of talent is a unique and mutually beneficial way for us to introduce some of the outstanding worldwide candidates to Churchill Downs, our horse racing fans and the city of Louisville," Gates said. "Our committee will reconvene at season's end and, based on positive reviews, I think there's a good chance that our next announcer will come from this group. I would expect a final decision before year's end."

I read it too fast..thnx

yeah, i put on the race lst nite...and then remembered with horror who the race caller was....ugh. i never watch turfway racing because of him.

How about we do something RADICAL and don't hire anyone to calls the races? Use the money to install TRAKUS for ACCURATE screen displays and DATA (works really well at DMR, where the MUMBLING LOW TALKER Denman is always on MUTE). Use what's left to STREAM the races LIVE on the web. Those in it for ENTERTAINMENT purposes will disagree, of course.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

i never viewed the announcer as being there to entertain, moreso to inform. maybe they could get an announcer and trakkus?

and i can't stand denman. i try to hit the mute when the gates open, so as to be spared his growl of 'and away they go'.
