I think Travis would be great at CD. He does a nice job. Good luck!

[jballscalls]

he'll also be at Golden GAte the week Wrona is at CD. I heard Travis actually hired a tour manager for these few weeks.

Best of luck Travis. Heard your calls yesterday. Good stuff. Great to see someone so young making this kind of headway in the industry.

Even if he is, I think it speaks volumes they are even considering him at such a young age. It can only enhance his resume`

Neuman missed one yesterday at CHD in the last. He called the winner a loser a 16th out

I've been up in about 20 or so announcers booths across the country, and can say without a doubt, the hardest one to call from in my opinion would be Churchill Downs.

Its VERY high and its right on top of the track, so when they are coming down the stretch they are coming right at you, so you basically see the jocks hat and the horses face.

Just shows you how truly good Luke was, cause he rarely ever missed one there.

Good luck.

Get those lip exercises going for the 12 horse field practice session.
May your bino's never fog.

Was shocked he called the winner 300 yards away form the wire in a turf race. I had him as the morning line fav for the job but it wont take many of those blunders to stay Miami.
Then again, deciding whether to live in Fort L dale or Louisville. I might sand bag myself.

Nice Story, Enjoyable Read , Go Travis !!!!


The voice you hear this week calling the Churchill Downs' races belongs to 24-year-old Travis Stone, the announcer at Harrah's Louisiana Downs.


Stone will call the Churchill races through Sunday as the track has a different announcer each of the meet's five weeks. Fans can e-mail Churchill with their thoughts about him and other announcers to announcer@kyderby.com.

The Courier-Journal caught up with Stone before yesterday's card ....
