Fairgrounds caller

[pmayjr]

Hi guys,

I notcie the Dooley is calling Fairgrounds races this year. Where is the guy with the British accent that was doing them in past years, and who has replaced Dooley at Oaklawn?

[Travis Stone]

Dooley has called FG for quite a few years now...

Terry Wallace calls at Oaklawn, and he's been doing that for decades...

Tony Bentley was race caller at FG from mid-70s through mid/late-90s. I believe Michael "Racing!" Wrona, currently at Golden Gate Fields, announced for some time at FG.

Bentley was ill-fated announcer at LaD, too. He was horrible! And Terry Wallace from Oaklawn is IMHO a "hack announcer" and even worse handicapper announced one season at LaD. Folks at Oaklawn love him. Too bad they've never heard John G. Dooley (FG), Travis Stone (LaD) or Don Stevens (DeD). Louisiana tracks are quite fortunate to have such capable, talented and entertaining race callers in the booth and at the microphone.

Another LaD alum is Dave Rodman who does outstanding work on Maryland racing circuit, Laurel and Pimilico.

Dave Rodman's "a quarter to go at Pimlico" is one of the best calls in the business.
