Meh. The background music had me hoping for an attack by Prince Vultan and squadron 40.

Boy now I just can't wait for The Fairgrounds to open.
I really enjoyed it. So nice to see some of our local favorites horses, and you do a nice job on the call. Very exciting for me. And it is a big day for Louisiana Breeders...nice job.
Thanks for the video, TVG hardly ever shows LA Downs so all I was able to do was check results. Made it so much nicer to have the calls.
But what happened to R9 with Rasberry Wine ?? We all just love her.

Thanks all!

Raspberry Wine's call was fine, but the stretch drive wasn't as exciting as the others and I didn't want to make a 9 minute video. But yea, she's awesome!

I thought the calls were very good, what I like is that they were tight and accurate without a lot of fluff. The music is okay for a compilation like that.

Boy, what a heartbreaker for the guy who bet the 80-1 horse to win!

also, are there any races without a horse named Zarb something or other?

I like the way you control your emotions throughout your race calls, a good deal of race callers kind of go overboard. But I hope have some nifty sayings for us this weekend

I enjoyed it alot, especially the way you didn't miss horses closing in from behind. And I could understand you all the way to the line (some race callers start yelling). You built to an exciting finish - very nice!
