Default Arlington's Announcer today

He sounds like the guy that does Maywood during the week but it shows you how lucky we are to have John G Dooley. Not a fan at all

That is the Maywood guy (heard it announced earlier). Don't remember what happened to Dooley - I wasn't paying attention.

Nobody coming with a wide and hopeful run or being ridden with the whip. Dooley is the best.

Dooley is a tough act to follow. He is a very close #2 for me right behind Durkin. But I am biased being from the NY area. TVG said that Dooley was under the weather.

Dooley fits the Arlington crowd perfectly. Most of the people, especially on the weekends are there to get hammered and get a tan, the place to be on Friday afternoons and all day Saturday. At most some of these people will wager a total of $30-$40, even that is stretching it. But, he gets people pumped up, his stretch calls have become even energetic, probably because the racing has gotten better. What I like about Dooley is the same thing I like about Stauffer is that when you don't expect it, they have hilarious one liners that catch your attention. Today's guy has had the same call for four races.
