![]() no, he's not. here's hoping, based on his allowing the streak to end, etc, that his retirement is near. he's awful. oaklawn wants to be a big time track, they need to start by getting a decent caller.

![]() Sounds like they'll have to drag him out kicking and screaming. Wallace wrote this on his blog on Tuesday:
"There is no retirement imminent for me. I've had to call the races with a broken wrist this year and it shocks some of the fans to see me call the races and walk around with a cast on my hand. But truthfully that has been no problem and I am just like so many of you--hating to see this come to an end. Oaklawn racing is such a wonderful experience. But for all of us who are older, everything moves faster. There is really an acceleration of life as you are on the downhill side. Although I am not planning a retirement, I will be going on vacation to England and France for, among other things, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in late September and early October. I've mentioned it before. People can join up with our group, if they choose. It's not cheap, but it's the trip of a lifetime. If you're interested, you still have time to contact me at Oaklawn to join the group." http://www.oaklawn.com/blogs/post/20.../turning-home/ |

![]() I know people don't like Grunder, but he's nowhere near the lead in this category.
Grunder would probably be like Darby Creek Road as to Wallace & Battaglia's Affirmed and Alydar.

![]() I have no problem with Oaklawn, but could it really be considered a major/big time track without any turf course?

![]() i said they want to be one-the last few years they've produced some good spring racing with notable runners going on to further successes. it's just a shame that those races are called by someone who is inept. too bad they don't have a turf course, i don't know that they ever could tho.

![]() This is the first year there's a big change in everything Terry has done since the begining of time at Oaklawn. He doesn't do a weekly radio show anymore. He gets a day off every now and then and I imagine his retirement is at hand. At least from his duties at Oaklawn are concerned. Just about everyone considers Terry a friend and that Oaklawn wouldn't be the same without him. Oaklawn is changing and hopefully for the better. Do you think Vic Stauffer would consider a move to the boyhood home of Bubba?

![]() That really had to be one of the worst called races in the history of the sport today. He didn't get through the entire field once during the whole race. He mentioned the fifth place horse once after the opening quarter and that was after a second or two pause and then after the wire. If your horse ran sixth the whole way, then he never got a call. It was so bad that you almost have to feel bad for the guy. I think it's finally time for him to hang up the binoculars.
