Dave Johnson...

Everyone has their own taste, but in my opinion, Dave Johnson is one of the greatest race callers of all time!

Agreed. Before embellishing the call for the networks became in vogue, he was the man. His call in Manila's Arlington Million is priceless.


I've also met him several times and he's been nothing but a gentleman. So to each his own.

I agree. Do you know if Letterman is still calling races anywhere?

dave johnson was ok, until he became a caricature of himself. i remember watching a race when there was tons of action going on...but he stopped himself describing it all just to squeeze in the ubiquitous 'and down the stretch...'. sigh

the race call would have been more exciting had he stuck with calling the action. we're there to see the horses, not listen to the caller.

Larry Lederman? If so he's at Freehold Raceway.
