As is the Mountaineer guy.

I find those accents a bit annoying but a good race caller is a good race caller and most of them seem to be good.

I think I also remember Wrona calling races on an old video game before ... Tom Durkin has the honor of calling races on the worst video game ever made. That NTRA game with Ghostzapper on the cover was as bad as it gets.

I'm not sure. Someone else might know. I'd say it was a good five to ten years old.

Either way it was an awesome racing game -- managing horses careers through claiming races, conditioned races, etc....way advanced in some ways. Very good.

And that had to be a dozen years ago.

this is off topic, but a console horse racing video game with online capabilities to play against other real humans would be awesome
