Travis Stone @ CRC this week
 
Travis Stone is calling races at Calder Race Course this week. Started yesterday and goes through Sunday, November 2. Next week, he calls Churchill Downs as part of their search competition.

Check him out... replays available on Calder site or through YouTube. Travis handled quirky CRC turf finish line well yesterday.

Travis does a very good job. I caught him for some of the Calder card yesterday.

Good luck Travis, rooting for you to get the Churchill job!

I think Travis would be great at CD. He does a nice job. Good luck!

he'll also be at Golden GAte the week Wrona is at CD. I heard Travis actually hired a tour manager for these few weeks.

Even if he is, I think it speaks volumes they are even considering him at such a young age. It can only enhance his resume`

Neuman missed one yesterday at CHD in the last. He called the winner a loser a 16th out

I've been up in about 20 or so announcers booths across the country, and can say without a doubt, the hardest one to call from in my opinion would be Churchill Downs.

Its VERY high and its right on top of the track, so when they are coming down the stretch they are coming right at you, so you basically see the jocks hat and the horses face.

Just shows you how truly good Luke was, cause he rarely ever missed one there.

Good luck.

Get those lip exercises going for the 12 horse field practice session.
May your bino's never fog.
