Default Vic Stauffer

He loves the game. Him and Durkin are neck and neck tied for the best.

He gets more excited than the owners. I personally love his calls. I think he blew a lung out just now.

Remember when he called a race through an earthquake:

Titan, I don't think that had ANYTHING to do with it. Vic is a well known player, and he plays alot but that was all heart and passion in that call. He doesn't play 7/5

I'm sure it didn't.. just busting the guys chops. I actually like the guy.

However.. at what point, other than right before the wire, did A.P. excellent lose the lead, let alone fall to third?

Vic always comes up with a great call, especially in the biggest races. He's really, really good with calling photos too.

vic is my favorite, the guy loves the game and his passion shows through on days like today. it's genuine.

but I have noticed this year the same thing you mentioned, on the back side he frequently has a little hiccup while he searches for the correct horse. never hoticed that before.

Yes. He called a harness race at Saratoga a few years back. The winner was a mare named Dominatrix. In the stretch his call was "Dominatrix feeling the sting ofthe whip and LOVING it!..."
