Thought this was just spectacular. As he says, he's a fan first, and that much is clear just from watching his body language and hearing his voice.

Thanks for that. It was great to see him calling it. There will never be another in my lifetime like him. Simply the best.

Good stuff, thanks for posting. I felt bad for him at the end, when you could see his disgust, disappointment and threw his headset.

Seeing that I am even more in awe of him, considering how professional a call can be delivered despite the wishes of the fan inside.

That was awesome.

would hazard a guess, CIGAR, since it was his favorite race call. But might be the trotter he owned a couple of years back that i think he said earned a half mil.
