During the 70's and early 80's here in NY when simulcasting was not even in the fetus stage and all the otb parlors had was a tv screen with the letters of the horses(they went by letters first) you could listen to WCBS radio and at 12 and 42 minutes past the hour when they did sports you would get the actual stretch call from the track.But i always chose to listen to WNBC at 15 and 45 minutes past the hour to hear Harvey do a recreation of the entire race.He did a great job.A true horseracing fan.By the way yesterday morning i'm on Springfield Blvd crossing over Hempstead turnpike and there i see a large horse transport truck with an advertisement on the entire side for ATRAB.Made my day.
