You have to expect that Wrona and Johnson "split" the vote of accent-appreciative fans. Neuman and Collmus have a similar, slightly innocuous and vanilla style that makes them blend in rather than stand out, and those two figured to split votes. That leaves Travis, who in his early 20's fits what you would think Churchill would want in terms of a stable, long-term voice. I said on "ATR" when this process began that assuming CDI could live with the spectre that Travis would want and aggressively seek the New York job when it becomes available, he was the 'smart' and logical choice..

If this is true (that the New York job is his dream job) with all respect to Travis then I would prefer that one of the other fellas get the job.

I think Dooley might have his eye on the NY job as well...

130 votes, pretty impressive for a DT poll.

Well, as I was recently reminded, Tom Durkin isn't retiriing any time soon.

I believe if you asked the majority of announcers in this country including more than one of the candidates for the CD job what gig they most covet, they would answer that of NYRA. I'm certain that those feelings about calling in New York would never keep Travis or any other person from giving CD everything they have. After all, calling the Ky Derby for the largest crowd at any racetrack all year long is a pretty important job and will be treated with the proper respect.

I thought they all did well and have plusses and minuses. But just pick a guy and get on with it already. I have never watched American idol but if John asher is on I will tune in.

Larry Collmus is 2 to 5.
