It's just a matter of time before Travis gets the bump up somewhere.

I do like the selection and look forward to the spring meet.

I thought Johnson did a good job, although I'm really surprised Churchill went with a non-American. If I was making odds, this would have been my line:

HTML Code:
Announcer	ML	Comment

Travis Stone	9/5	Poplular young Dave Johnson sound alike with big upside
Bobby Neuman	5/2	Calder announcer gives accurate and exciting calls.
Mark Johnson	9/2	Fancy caller from England
Michael Wrona	6/1	Veteran from Australia, lost his voice and was replaced by John Asher
Larry Collmus	12/1	Monotone veteran caller
