The Aussies have us beaten hands down.
Those announcers are the best in the world.

he calls about 200 horses names out (based on all six horse fields) in a three day period, and you're bitching cause he messed up three? i wonder how many critics here have messed up three words in a casual conversation, let alone trying to name every horse, keep track of who is where, while also watching a clock-and keeping up with who's up front, as well as the action behind, who's moving forward, who's dropping back-all in far less than 2 minutes most of the time.

The best thing I can say about Stauffer, is that he is good for the fans, and that he makes the horses sound great.
That is what these guys in football and the NBA do. A man just ran a piece of leather for 20 feet, and they make it sound historical. They are constantly selling their sport through the mass media. Stauffer gets it. Stauffer is so convincing, that when you handicap the replay, you kind of have to check the fractions twice and watch a replay again with no sound. -To see if that horse really was that good. A story to remember is the time Vic Stauffer made Molengao sound so good in the 8.5furlong Mervyn Leroy,lol. I think I stood up and pumped my fist  . Every wise guy was picking him to beat Lava Man in Lava Man's 10furlong Gold Cup last year, nearly going off the favorite over Lava Man. Molengao 8/5 , Lava Man 7/5.Here was a horse that I was tossing from the exacta. The public viewed it as a competitive race. Some of the enthusiasm was in no doubt, at least in part affected by Stauffer's high-energy call of Molengao in the Mervyn Leroy: "Molengao charges in the center of cushion track... , BUT NOW "MOLENGAO OPENS UP A THREE LENGTH LEAD, LOOK AT MOLENGAO! ROLLLL!L  AWAY! HES SUDDENLY 5 IN FRONT! MOLENGAO WOWWW thats a big one molengao won by 5..."The handle for the 2007 Gold Cup was a record 22,000,000 Up 45% from the 2006 handle of 15,000,000.
