Thank you for the kind words everyone. It's been a fun week. Wednesday was not a bad day of race calls, just not my best, but it took me a few steps out of the gate to find my stride. For the Mrs. Revere yesterday I had a handful of people pop into the booth to watch but was pleased with how it ended-up.

CD is very challenging to call with its towering stretch and angle at which the horses run towards you (pretty much straight at you).

I was talking to David Carroll yesterday morning and he had heard my interview on HRTV and commented on how I said horses tend to hang around in the race longer and how he agreed. That requires a new slew of words such as game, hanging in there, fights-on, won't give up etc. Very challenging, but lots of fun!

If you like what you hear, make sure you let them know!
