Loved The Old Announcer The Best, He Was Great With His "and They're Comin' Hoooome Now!"

Sacramento is it not?

Yup, Sacramento. I don't know how they pulled that track announcer, you would think that he would be announcing at a better track. Scott Urlich (spelling) is his name, I believe. I used to love his race calls at Balmoral, glad I can hear him at Cal Expo. The former announcer sucked, John something, he calls races at Evangeline Downs.

John Mc Gary is a fine announcer they gave him a pile of money to leave the cal expo gig and is doing good work at Evangeline. Scott Urlich does a great job also he told me he wanted to try somthing different he got a nice offer from cal expo he works in another capaciry as well there not sure exactly what else he does>cal expo Harness is growing very slowly butit has picked up a nice following and the pools are growing i have done some good work there they keep everything real casual there and have alot of fun . i think it is one of the more beatable "smaller" harness tracks around. It is an easy cirucut to follow cuz they run at the same place year round. I would reccomned playing there as long as it is there i heard they may bemoving to one of the other fair sites in the near future.

The one thing about Cal Expo...if you can beat the fav, or catch a horse that has a high morning line but is bet down, you'll get rewarded with some decent payoffs. People like to play chalk..it's like a county fair atmohpshere at that track. Example, there was a race not too long ago, the odds were 5-1 over 5-1 over 25-1 and the tri paid about 2k for a buck, exacta was at least 125....the favorite in the race was only around 6/5, but he missed the board completly.



As for their former announcer, I don't dislike him personally, I just don't like his race calls, I think he's boring. IMO
