Wow Suffolk you've really got Dooley up there! Above Stauffer? I agree with what some others have said about him personally, he is a great guy, very nice.

But I've got to tell you that for me he is not that far above Battaglia and a few others as a caller. It's not that he doesn't call a fairly accurate race, he does. It's just the corny expressions, the mechanical ennunciation and his nasally voice that really grate on me.

"Earlie Fires partners number 5 Brittle Shins next into the gate"
"The milers meet up with the main track"
"Bronco Billy! is being produced down the center of the track"
so and so is "holding favoritism" at two to one.
plus all of the this's and that's.

Like I said he annoys me but seems like a very genuine and nice guy.
