When you are a the top of your profession in your half of the country, people are always going to try to knock you down a peg. We have several other race callers on this board that never seem to get "critiqued" like Vic does here.

How many other race callers are jockey agents at the track they call ? I am sorry you didnt get the point of my post, I thought I was clear about why I thought the call was biased. This isn't about who is a better announcer. All announcers have their good and bad days. Denman's call when Street Sense won The BC, Durkin's Derby call this year....were less than stellar.

Trust me...if Travis Stone becomes a jock's agent down at La Downs and does the same thing I will post about it as well.

As far as Stauffer having thick skin, read his response to me. The guy has no class and obviously can't handle criticism.
