Such simple words, yet very powerful. His voice was excited yet dissapointed, yet not too much of either one.

Personally, my wanting to call races spawned purely from my passion for the game. If you know me personally, I live and breathe it. Heck my dog is named after a race horse. I also enjoy entertaining and merging the two together ended-up being the ideal recipe.

Hopefully someday I'll get to call the big races and folks can critique me here too!
