vic is my favorite, the guy loves the game and his passion shows through on days like today. it's genuine.

but I have noticed this year the same thing you mentioned, on the back side he frequently has a little hiccup while he searches for the correct horse. never hoticed that before.

hes no david letterman

[Linny]

Do you mean Larry Lederman?

[MISTERGEE]

is he the one who worked at atlantic city and was very funny?

[Linny]

Yes. He called a harness race at Saratoga a few years back. The winner was a mare named Dominatrix. In the stretch his call was "Dominatrix feeling the sting ofthe whip and LOVING it!..."

[MISTERGEE]

in a stretch duel at a/c he said this is a WAR they are bunge jumping off the clubhouse rooftops!!!! he had a million like that

Great Call, if you don't get chills running down your spine as Lava Man hits the wire, you are not a true horse racing fan.

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

"Straight and strong!"

I appluad his enthusiasm. Same for Durkin, the Oaklawn guy, and Paul Allen at Canterbury Park. I like emotion and differences in tone in a race call, or any kind of sports annoncing for that matter. These mono-toned guys put me to sleep. So no offense to Denman. He can call an accurate race, but you don't get the differences in tone from him.

Stauffer blows call after call, then studders, and the best is when he goes silent for 5-7 seconds to re-check his program while they are on the back stretch. He is the worst big track race caller I have ever heard.

If anyone likes what they are hearing out of his calls, they are probably related to Helen Keller.

Terry Wallace is the worst very enthusiastic race caller there is.....just brutal....but he does get excited, I'll give him that...

A real dominatrix doesn't enjoy the "sting of the whip", the dominatrix is the one USING the whip... so technically, someone like Chantal Sutherland could be considered a dominatrix

The things that I conjure up in my mind frighten me sometimes

[Linny]

To be literal, the driver would have had to have been the dominatrix, but the call was a riot. Right up there with Michael Wrona's "staying like a mother in law..."
Lederman is hysterical. Of course Luke Kruytbosch is the only man I know who can say the words "charging up the backside" 9 times a day and not lose his job.

of Vic Stauffer calling a race in an earthquake that was awesome.

I would have done the same thing.

When Texas won the Nat'l Title I wanted to punch the TV. B/c my team Texas A&M played Texas the closest until that Nat'l Title game. We lost to Texas 28-40
still an awesome game tho.
