Default I am Pro Vic

I enjoy Vic's calls and really liked him at Gulfstream in the past. So, you can tell who he bet on during a race I like that. So, he gets exited I like that too.

The article is so bad and poorly written that it makes me think this Osterman dude was being sarcastic..

"Calling races should be an exercise in journalism where the “who, what, where and when” is reported and not embellished.

Just call the race accurately, that’s all that is being asked."


It's funny how Osterman doesn't want the race call embellished...you know just give him the who, what, where and when, but lauds Wrona for being clever and laugh out loud funny during his calls. So which is it?

Personally I think Wrona is one of the best out there along with Tom Durkin, Vic, Peter Berry, Larry Lederman, Dave Rodman and Dan Loiselle.

Really? I enjoy his racecalls. But then, I don't have an issue with any racecallers. Any that I've heard do a better job at it than I could. Yes, even Battaglia.

It's no secret that I truly enjoy Mr. Stauffer's calls. He uses his talents to call a less than hotly popular sport and make it understanding and entertaining. I must say I perfer it over "do re me fa sol la ti do" Mr. Durkin's colorful calls.
