My friend Pete has been calling the races at River... anyone heard him? I havent yet but would be interested in what ya'll think. I love to hear him call races... he would make em up and everything when we'd chill... like Freestyle Race Calling!

I think JBalls gave up his role at River this year since they have a different guy, to stay at his home track of Emerald, but he probably can confirm that.

Lay off him Pants. Health issues alright sent him from Ohio to back home. Your comedy can now go to another thread.

FYI Pants when you make fun of people who are posting about things they truely care about do you not know you are the one who looks the fool? Pick you f'ing spots but don't come treading in my water without an occasional ripple.

With love,

Or maybe I don't keep up with River Downs and didn't know Balls wasn't the announcer anymore.

Please continue your tirade...but not before you clean up the mess in aisle five.

No worries Pants, you certainly didnt offend me. And i have thought about legally changing my last name to Balls, but i think i'll stick with the name my parents gave me.

I did leave River after Derby Day for some health and personal reasons. I'm doing much better and will be returning to racecalling very soon.

That being said, I phoned Peter Aiello the day i left and got him in touch with the people at River. I think he started right around the first of June and he's been doing a very good job. Just like any new announcer he has made some small mistakes once in a while, but we all do. The important thing is he's having fun and improving each time i've heard him. I think Peter has a bright future!!
