That was old school Craig Ingram. Vic was back for the 7th

Yes I did react too soon. It just seemed odd to have a stand in without saying anything before.

I did say something. I introduced him at about 18 mins to post. Then went to the paddock to watch Neil Drysdale saddle Cold East Wind and talk to Joel.

I thought Old School did a great job!

When Hollywood closes I'm out of the announcing business. That's why for the time being I'm wearing two hats. When I got engaged I made a promise to Tina and her daughter Lilly that when HP shuts down I wouldn't go back out on the road to another out of town track.

When and if that happens I'll be a full time agent and probably do some freelancing for TVG.

Slew - look about 2/3 of the way down this article, it says he won't do the fair. It's a bummer, I was looking forward to hearing his calls next week. I guess we'll be hearing more of Frank this summer...

Thanks. I don't see how he could leave the Del Mar backstretch scene for 2 weeks anyway while he's handling Rosario's book. He's making a heckuva lot more money booking mounts than calling races.
