He's a steward at NYRA now I believe, still like his calls over Durkins.

What ever happened to him, he used to call jump races also at Fairhill I believe.

I think this is the race that most dispells the myth that Great horse races make for great race calls.

The walkover wasn't a great race.... so it should be as boring as someone calling a workout.

The Seabiscuit VS War Emblem match race probably deserved to have a better call than some raspy voiced dude saying "They're head and head" over and over again and saying it like he's constipated.

I'm babying him. He isnt tough like Bubble Berry. 2 races in a week. I did run one 4 times in 5 weeks. Cant remember his name but I will think of it. His best race was the last one.

Swaps and Nashua's match race.

Much like the Seabiscuit v. War Admiral match race - the horse that is put to a constant whipping from the start is the winner...while the passively ridden horse gets upset.
