Wow favorite lines, I try not to script my call's but . Here are a few that I seem to utter sometime's



Clippity clop through the slop

Feel's the sting of the right handed wip

There coming home for the pay off

ONE FINAL SURGE

Closed shop early

I use upper and lower turn instead of clubhouse and final turn

Locked up and the key is gone

Farther outside than Danny Bonaducci of the partridge family

Thereeeeeeee COMING HOME NOW

For harness what's your opinion of Sam McKee at the Big M? I think he's pretty good.

Farther outside than Danny Bonaducci of the partridge family


Is this the red haired meatead from quite possibly the worst TV show of all time?

Sam Mckee: My opinion is he is the best harness announcer of his time, He is consistent , He has a perfect voice , Accurate, A pleasure to listen to.


As far as Dannie Bonaducci yes you are correct he was the redheaded kid from the 70,s show the partridge family. He never fit into the family loop he was an outsider how he got picked to be on the show is beyond me but I think he was portrayed as adopted or something im not sure alls I know is he was outside the family very very far outside , so when a horse is wide in the turn and is losing ground thats what I use sometimes , instead of my old line which is he is heading for the hot dog stand.

Correct answer. I give you credit for that one. I remember Sam back in Detroit calling the T-breds for Ladbroke DRC. He was such an improvement over the local guy we had over there at the time.

my favorite line that one of the harness guys used to use is so and so 'has the best view of them all' for whoever is last.

That was Jack Lee. He was awesome. The guy who called about 15 years ago at Yonkers or Roosevelt used to say " and here come the vultures!!!!" after a speed duel had obviously taken its toll on the leaders.
Of course that nut at the Meadows(roger huston?) has some good ones. GETTING UPPPPPPPP!!!!

that's right I think it was Yonkers that I'm thinking of--the boss had a horse that used to run there a lot

No I am not the saratoga harness announcer . As far as durkin goes I guess I got off to the wrong step on this board . I just hated that call and I had to say something about it on this board . Why this board well because this is the best and most passionate and informative racing board on the web . I know this because I belong to them all. The only reason I do not say what track I announce at is because I can get very argumentative and brash at times about certain opinion's I have (durkin example) and I would not want it to come back and bite me some day . I respect everybody's opinion on this board and hope that I can make good contribution's to the group.
