vic is my favorite, the guy loves the game and his passion shows through on days like today. it's genuine.

but I have noticed this year the same thing you mentioned, on the back side he frequently has a little hiccup while he searches for the correct horse. never hoticed that before.

hes no david letterman

Do you mean Larry Lederman?

[MISTERGEE]

is he the one who worked at atlantic city and was very funny?

[Linny]

Yes. He called a harness race at Saratoga a few years back. The winner was a mare named Dominatrix. In the stretch his call was "Dominatrix feeling the sting ofthe whip and LOVING it!..."

[MISTERGEE]

in a stretch duel at a/c he said this is a WAR they are bunge jumping off the clubhouse rooftops!!!! he had a million like that

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

"Straight and strong!"

[pmayjr]

I appluad his enthusiasm. Same for Durkin, the Oaklawn guy, and Paul Allen at Canterbury Park. I like emotion and differences in tone in a race call, or any kind of sports annoncing for that matter. These mono-toned guys put me to sleep. So no offense to Denman. He can call an accurate race, but you don't get the differences in tone from him.

A real dominatrix doesn't enjoy the "sting of the whip", the dominatrix is the one USING the whip... so technically, someone like Chantal Sutherland could be considered a dominatrix

The things that I conjure up in my mind frighten me sometimes

of Vic Stauffer calling a race in an earthquake that was awesome.

I would have done the same thing.
