I can't say I was looking forward to hear a 'Brit' call the races at CD this past week. However, I was very impressed with Mark J. His race call in the 12th race friday was great. A full field of 10-12 horses going 5f on the turf can be an announcers nightmare. MJ picked up alot of very important factors, along with a horse breaking down on the lead which leave alot of announcers shocked and speachless. He didnt miss a beat, i recommend watching the replay before anyone votes.

Default CD Guest Announcer Survey

Churchill Downs has Guest Announcer survey posted on its site. Here is link: http://www.keysurvey.com/survey/231127/1335/

Previously established CD email address for race caller feedback: announcer@kyderby.com

My personal lineup (first to worst) is:

1. Travis Stone -- up and coming star
2. Larry Collmus -- reliable, steady
3. Mark Johnson -- best foreign chap
4. Bobby Neuman -- Calder fixture
5. Michael Wrona -- worst foreign chap

I assume Johnson is not a U.S. citizen - would that be a factor at all?

I sure hope Bobby Neuman isn't a derbytrailer. I have a favorite it's the guy who called the Ouija Board/Alexander Goldrun race in the Goodwood race, just to be safe I don't have the heart to hurt anyone's feelings here.
