Let me try this again.

My vote is for Vic.

I lived in Hialeah when I first heard Vic calling races. I was the host of my own TV show and owned a few horses, but really have been a horse racing enthusiast since 1977.

I remember being starstruck with Vic and did everything I could to meet him. to me he was a true star. He is enthusiastic, clear and passionate.

I think horse racing is the most exciting sport around. Whether you own a horse or are betting on a race, it is tremendously exciting. Yet for years I often thought, "are these race callers watching the same races I am watching?" The race calls were extremely boring and monotonous. Collmus is a very solid race caller, and I am sure he is a nice guy, but he certainly falls into this boring category.

Vic brings true excitement to this truly exciting sport. If I owned a race track and had my choice between Collmus or Stauffer. It would be a no brainer. I would pic Stauffer everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.
