It was more so his excitement for the game. He loves horses like that, 9 years old and still a monster.....

Yes, i agree. I actually like his calls alot. I might be in the minority here, but I was disappointed to see Collmus replace him @ Gulfstream.

I remember his days at Hialeah.. in 1993, calling a race with a horse named "Altmagraenaraguda", after two vain attempts at pronouncing the horse's name, he surrendered during the stretch run: "Here comes the number 4."

also he called a race during an earthquake in cali... you can listen to it here..

famous lines.. "we have a new leader" , "is straight and strong" are sometimes tiresome though

I am 'internet' friends with him, he is a great guy.

I was also pissed about him getting pulled from Gulfstream, a raw deal.....

He recieved notice of his termination by e-mail. Real classy move by Magna.

Vic is, imho, heads and shoulders above Collmus as an announcer.

Well when Sylvester the cat has a horse ready...he has a horse ready. Sufferin' Succotash!!

Ok I absolutely love Price Tag in this race. Going heavy on the win and a nifty double with the 5,8,10,12.

Let's make it happen!!

Sorry guys, I thought you had it at the top of the stretch.

Damn. Clement's mule sure didn't do us any favors.

But you've got to hand it to Citronnade, that was a blazing time.

Probably a lot, and good for him.

Not often you can get $9 to win on a horse that has won two Gr 2's and two Gr 1's, including the Arlington Million, in his last five races (the only miss was a 2nd in a Gr 1 in Dubai).

Very impressive old war horse.

da tin man is the shizzle...and steves fav west coast charge get funky ran huge ..

How could you not get excited over a 9 year old warrior? He's the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of horse racing.
