He forgot to say "And down the stretch they come!" Then he realized that he forgot to say it after the horses had passed the 1/16th pole. Then he said something like "It's Bright One drawing away. And down the stretch come the others." It was a terrible call. I couldn't believe it. He used to be a really good announcer. When I first started going to the track back in the early 1980s, he was the track announcer at Santa Anita.

I felt bad for the guy as well. Sounded like it was his first call ever. Pretty sad for a guy that once generated such excitement with his down the stretch call.

Dave Johnson does the track announcing at Charles Town on West Virginia Breeders Classic day now. No joke.

i heard the calll, which i thought was horrendous. matter of fact, this is the first time i've realized that it was dave johnson! no joke, i didn't know it was him. i thought it was some first timer who had no clue, no names, no studying, SOMETHING.
wow. i bet he was embarassed. worst call since they lost the audio and randy moss had to 'call' the race. at least randy had an excuse, he's no caller, and certainly wasn't prepared. poor dave...too many martinis at lunch?

He sounded very distracted. Like he was looking for something.
It was a Harry Caray moment.
