Collmus or Stauffer GP 2009 (Poll)

[tector]

Vic is a moron. He pronounced Nebuchadnezzar as "knee-BACH-an-eezer". Is he that much of an uneducated dolt? And I don't need bogus emotion for every call--I am not an 11 year old watching wrestling, for Christ's sake. Clarity is the number one virtue in a race caller, unless something exceptional is happening on track.

Collmus is underwhelming, but solid.

Oh yeah? Well I think Tiger Woods is a lousy golfer. So there!

If my vote counted, I'd say Collmus. Since the next Gulfstream GM is probably a rookie teller at Remington or Thistle right now, my vote probably won't count.

Just a heads up. At 8:00am Tues. morning I'm going to print out what's been posted and send it to Gulfstream. So If you'd like to have your voice and opinion heard please share it soon.

BTW great job with all your responses.

Thanks

Sharpest post i've seen yet.

I will chime in for Vic as I enjoy his style, enthusiasm and don't care if 1 out of 120 horses a day have their name mis-pronounced.

I doubt Magna GP will treat either with a :great deal of professional respect. We could use VJS at Pinnacle Raceway in July!

Stauffer is one of the few race callers that I instantly hit "mute" on the tv. His calls are annoying. Bring back Luke K. Collmus calls races fine...no annoying extra crap.

Jeez. I thought as least my girlfriend wouldn't post.

I vote for Vic! I think he is one of the best race callers out there. He has passion and love for our sport and I enjoy that in his calls. I love horse racing so much more because of him. I very much believe that he deserves a second chance at Gulfstream. Go get 'em, Ace!!

Let me try this again.

My vote is for Vic.

I lived in Hialeah when I first heard Vic calling races. I was the host of my own TV show and owned a few horses, but really have been a horse racing enthusiast since 1977.

I remember being starstruck with Vic and did everything I could to meet him. to me he was a true star. He is enthusiastic, clear and passionate.

I think horse racing is the most exciting sport around. Whether you own a horse or are betting on a race, it is tremendously exciting. Yet for years I often thought, "are these race callers watching the same races I am watching?" The race calls were extremely boring and monotonous. Collmus is a very solid race caller, and I am sure he is a nice guy, but he certainly falls into this boring category.

Vic brings true excitement to this truly exciting sport. If I owned a race track and had my choice between Collmus or Stauffer. It would be a no brainer. I would pic Stauffer everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.
