He was the best!!!

There is nothing like the experience of having a bet on a race and having him call it for you on the radio.

His calls were just so random it always added a great deal of excitement to the race. I especially loved it when he wouldn't call your horse once in the entire race until the end, when he would call "and so and so gets up for the win!"

I always thought that that must feel something like getting a last minute reprieve from the death penalty.
