Was Johnson fired, or did he step down?

Vic would be awesome at Monmouth. And I'm not even joking. I'd love to see that happen.

Great news. Nothing against Johnson, who did a good job, but Collmus is one of the few guys I'll mute the music/TV for to hear his call.

Vic calls a good race. Kind of loves himself a lot and will fit in at D'Jais in Belmar quite well

I wouldn't be too certain that Larry isn't going to do some calling at Monmouth too. We'll see.

I like Mark Johnson.

Wanted to show someone a replay of Mine That Bird a couple of weeks ago and I had to look for a few minutes cause I wanted to make sure to use his call.

Just a matter of taste, I guess.

I wish him well and hope he has something good lined up (and Vic too, while we're on the subject).

The article specifically mentioned he will be keeping his job at Gulfstream but failed to mention Monmouth. It is not a stretch for us to come to that conclusion. I hope you have inside info and he keeps calling for the Monmouth meet that doesn't crossover with Churchill.
