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 |
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.
