Great news, great hire, looking forward to Vic calling many "whackers" at Oaklawn.

[Greyfox]

That's great news. :ThmbUp:

[johnhannibalsmith]

Indeed. Putting aside everything else, I've always considered Vic one of my favorite announcers. I'll be very happy to hear him call races again instead of just having to read him. :kiss:

[RunForTheRoses]

They hired that worthless POS no good bum MFer?###

Congrats! I like that track in winter.

[Donttellmeshowme]

No idea he applied for the job. Well done Vic I'm going to have to go to Oaklawn one day next year I've never been always been wanting to go.

Congrats Vic I'm happy you made the opportunity to follow what you love doing...looking forward to hearing your race calling....kudos.

[olddaddy]

You told me at one time awhile back that you were not retired and will call again. Many thought you were done, Im glad you are back although I dont like Oaklawn because I like grass racing. Good luck and good racing.

[billyball]

Good place for you Vic---hope to see hear you down in oaklawn

[mountainman]

Elite caller...congrats, sir..

Absolutely. Terrific hire.

I concur with the sentiments. Cannot understand why GG did not hire him.

Congrats Vic.

[thaskalos]

Wishing you all the best, Vic...congratulations.

[Track Phantom]

Wow! Congrats to Vic on this. In my opinion, the last two years, Oaklawn Park has been the best racing in all of America. Deep fields, classy runners and not dominated by cheaters. Really great racing.

Vic's voice will add to the appeal. I think he's a great fit for that track.

[no breathalyzer]

congrats Vic

[Baron Star Gregg]

Congrats Vic! I look forward to hearing your calls again.

[pandy]

Congratulations! I like Oaklawn Park racing. Now I like it even more.

Congrats Vic, wishing you my best. Just in time since I was starting to forget how you sounded when calling races.

Best of luck!!

Very happy Vic is back! One of my favs. His call of Barbaro's Fla Derby and Zenyatta's 2010 vanity leave me cheering and tearing even now.

[Poindexter]

Congrats Vics. Very happy for you.

[SandyW]

Great news, congrats Vic, Oaklawn could not have made a better decision to enhance their racing product. A first class announcer for a first class track.
Looking forward to your exciting and accurate race calls starting on opening day Jan. 13.

[ReplayRandall]

Congrats Vic....Always supported you and believed you'd be back. Very proud of you and your resolve, especially after all the pounding you've taken the last few years..;)

[v j stauffer]

Wow. What a day! Wish I could thank each and everyone of you individually. Too big an outpouring. I'm truly humbled.

Thanks to you all from the bottom of my heart.

The baseball is during the summer. Oaklawn runs January to April. It is tough to pass up free hot dogs.

Good stuff Vic. Looking forward to you calling every horse I wager rolling home. I have small expectations. :cool:

Congrats Vic. Have fun.

I'm late to the party as usual...Congrats Vic on the primo gig... :ThmbUp:

[PhantomOnTour]

Congrats Vic!
Favor?...can you call the splits in 10ths instead of 5ths...ya know, call 22.4 a "twenty two point four" instead of "twenty two and two"

You can change the game Vic! Hell, I'd be happy if you called them in 100ths

[Cratos]

Vic,
Congratulations; I enjoyed your posts during your tenure on this Forum and I am quite sure I will enjoy you race calls when I visit Oaklawn for the first time next spring.

[v j stauffer]

Isn't Nancy Ury @OP?

Nancy Ury-Holthus is the television face of Oaklawn.

She is fantastic!!

This will be a very easy transition for both Nancy and I. We've been friends since we first met in 1990 at the Woodlands in Kansas City Kansas.

Over the years we've worked together in many different capacities.

We've done TV work together at Hawthorne and most recently on TVG where she really blossomed into a truly excellent, live on air, broadcaster.

We were also fellow California Stewards. Nancy helped me greatly with prep work prior to receiving my accreditation as a steward.

One of the things I'm most looking forward to is again working with Nancy at Oaklawn. :jump:

I've never called fractional times.

They are always posted on the TV screen.

I think I can report the impact of pace without reciting the numbers.

Some hate that. Some like it.

I have to follow my heart and do what I think is best to paint the most accurate picture.

Not likely to change now with 40k under my belt.

Unfortunately sir, TVG does not always believe fractional times are important to the viewer, as is evident through their frequent non-posting of them in their feed. Nevertheless, your calls are superb without them, and will certainly be bringing more of my money to Oaklawn this winter. Congrats!

[johnhannibalsmith]

I think it's a fine policy. One of my favorite and most insane friends would get absolutely furious at announcers for reporting a half-mile time (for example) of 44.96 as 'forty-four and four'. "Someone tell this ignorant son of a bitch that if he had a nose a centimeter shorter it would be a forty-five half!" Granted he was prone to getting furious about all sorts of things that most people never even noticed, but that one always made me howl. Which tended to make him furious.

I remember her work on TVG. I was impressed. She had a evening slot during the week. Then she was gone. I was wondering if she stayed in the business. Good to see her talents still gracing the industry.

Never really cared one way or another. Trevor Dnman didn't call fractionals either. I do however, want to see them on the screen graphics.
The word picture is all that matters.

My two cents on announcers and fractions, worth a penny at most...

I'm fine with giving fractions, but they aren't necessary. What I don't like is when announcers try to tell you what fractions mean. They usually don't really know and are making nothing but semi-educated guesses.

I personally prefer to just be told the action on the track, not interpretations from announcers that border on in race handicapping. Just my opinion.

This depends. I mean, if we're going 1 1/16 miles at Santa Anita and there's a horse out all alone and the half is 49 and change, there's nothing wrong with an announcer pointing out the favorable scenario. (Or, conversely, if there are three horses out there dueling and going 45 flat.)

OTOH, most pace dynamics aren't that blatant.

Sure, definitely agree with that. And on turf with various rail settings and run ups you really, really have to do your homework to know.

[SAL]

I'm a little late to the party also-- but I look forward to hearing your calls again- it's about time you got another gig. Good luck!

[kingfin66]

So Vic, I have a question about living arrangements for an announcer like you. Nothing but weird random curiousity really. I believe you live in the Bay Area or Northern Cal. Oaklawn Park is on the other side of the country and is a 4-month meet. Do you maintain a separate residence in Hot Springs, or do you just rent week-to-week in an economy hotel or something like that. Feel free to decline the question if it is too weird or personal. Inquiring minds - okay, just my inquiring mind - want to know.

No worries King. Understandable question.

My home is Marin County Ca. My wife Tina is the director of marketing for a SF based realty company. That's home.

3 1/2 months is too long on the psyche for a hotel.

For me at this meeting I'll seek a turn key, corporate housing, type situation.

Each meeting is different as are of course other announcer's preferences.

All good.

I assume your stripes days are over, probably its time anyway, it gets tougher and tougher getting up and down the court as one ages. If so believe me youll miss it.

Not to be too nosy but you planning on this being your last race calling job?

Will file this away for future reference and assume that you can both dish it out and take it. For now, just go back to being an idiot. Oh wait, you never stopped, so as my friend Hjack Hillstrom would say, Carry On, Carry On.

[whodoyoulike]

You should send a note to the Hanes underwear company. They would've saved a lot of advertising money by not doing all those Michael Jordan commercials.

Sorry, I don't know what this means.

My original post was in reference to the Hane's commercial lead in question was something like "inquiring minds want to know ..... etc."

If you'd read Kingfin66's post he mentioned "inquiring minds ... etc."

Manson is not at San Quentin.

He's been at Corcoran for many years.

The only "infamous" inmate I know for sure incarcerated at San Quentin is Scott Peterson.

Even that's more than I care to know.

We are told not to engage in any conversations with the inmates other than simple courtesies.

I probably now know maybe 50 guys. From fellow refs, score keepers, coaches and the players. All 50 I know only by nickname.

I have a friend who worked as an orderly cleaning Manson's cell block. They became friendly, shot the breeze concerning my friend's grandmother, who had raised him, and my friend began sharing his snack stash-candy bars etc-with Manson.

Manson's response was to demand other "food" favors, or he would "send a few people to visit a certain old lady in WV."

My friend is nobody to trifle with. So one day he "rebuked" Manson-severely- with a broom handle to the face . No mystique or real menace, just a delusional, self- aggrandizing idiot. Who never threatened my friend again.

More like a psychotic, sociopath murderer (okay, he did not technically kill anyone, but still). The rebuke sounds reasonable to me.

2M, remember when Garth Brooks sang his monumental hit, signature lyrics,

.... So, I got friends in low places?

It sounds like you've got a good one! One who takes nothing off of a parasitic, predatory, ruthless, now insignificant, withering psychopath who should have been executed decades ago. ... I hope that grandmother is still alive and well today.
