I actually enjoyed a few of Stauffer's big race calls---however, he can be unbearably annoying sometimes.

For example, loudly proclaiming that Azeri has "the speed of Ruffian, the class of Lady's Secret, and the heart of Personal Ensign!" while she was beating Tropical Blossom by two lengths----that was a little over the top if you ask me.

The migraine headache of track announcers is Richard Grunder at Tampa.
I'd rather scratch my nails down a chalkboard than hear him get excited.

I love it when he says that such and such a horse is "carrying the familiar colors of" and than proceeds to say the name of an owner or stable that has about four horses, and has never been a well known owner or stable that has been around very long.

Perhaps if Sumwonlovesyou runs at Tampa, he'd say "carrying the familiar colors of the DT Stable."
