Evans could not have bored me more. Why can't they get someone who speaks clear American English that can make a call interesting? Just goes to show how brilliant Tom Durkin is.

It mystifies me that Vic Stauffer is not only the clear frontrunner for this job, but that he hasn't even been given a shot at this job.

Calls were clear & accurate, but as bland as drywall. I wasnt a fan.

It is quite amazing that someone so beloved on the internet could be passed over for some of the most prestigious jobs in racing (NYRA, Churchill, SA, Oaklawn) and even more that came available (Emerald, Woodbine, La Downs). Sort of makes you wonder what lies beneath the surface.

Nice to see your beef with Vic inexplicably spills over onto another forum.

This is ironic given that you whined last year about how you thought I was trolling you on this board.
