Travis you could be the next Larry Colmus he started at Suffolk now he's got some top jobs. I am so old I remember Larry C hanging around Pimlico with the great Dick Wooley. I do enjoy your announcing Travis.

Thanks. Larry gave me the chance to call my first two races... Suffolk Downs on a cold January afternoon while I was in college. I called two races that day, and walked out convinced I needed to call races for a living.

While I'll acknowledge this year was pretty tough for Terry, my horse-racing interest was started at Ak-Sar-Ben and the calls of Mr. Wallace. Here's hoping his retirement is enjoyable and whoever gets the job at Oaklawn will have a pretty sweet gig.

Whooooooooooooo Doctor Whooooooooooo !!!!!!!!

Are you going to pursue the gig, Travis? If so, best of luck.
