He was the best!!!

There is nothing like the experience of having a bet on a race and having him call it for you on the radio.

His calls were just so random it always added a great deal of excitement to the race. I especially loved it when he wouldn't call your horse once in the entire race until the end, when he would call "and so and so gets up for the win!"

I always thought that that must feel something like getting a last minute reprieve from the death penalty.

I probably listened to the big races when I was a kid. And believe me that was a longtime ago.

Yeah!!!

But man, you could go from the depths of despair to the heights of ecstasy (gambling wise) in one moment!

I love that Sirius broadcasts TVG and can listen in live while away - now we just need Grunder to call the splits at TBD and I'dnever leave my car

About 5 miles down the road..........put in a bid on a bank owned forclosure (in a neighborhood my wife and I really like) kind of on a whim. I thought they would laugh at it but they wanted to negotiate. We refused to increase are offer, they called us back and said we had a deal. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Tom.
