Churchill Announcer

[citycat]

The announcer today was just awful. Completely botched up the last race calling the wrong horse in front. Alot of uneasy pauses in his call. Watch CD pick this guy....LOL

Well I am not sure what exactly happened. The first 8 races were called by Wrona but the 9th and 10th sounded like John Asher. Maybe Wrona had to leave? Or got ill?

Whatever the case go watch and listen to the call of the tenth at CD yesterday. Its a trainwreck.

I wish I could.. but I don't have sound on this p.c

I'll take your word for it though

Michael W. did not call the last two races yesterday as it was announced the cold/virus he was battling caught-up with him. John Asher, who serves as their VP of Racing Comm. took care of the balance of the card. Churchill is a challenging racetrack to call, much less for someone who doesn't do it everyday!

It was Asher... and it was definitely a trainwreck, but it isn't his job, so I'll give him a pass.

My honest opinion... I thought Travis was the best and I hope he gets the job.
