If you have a voice that you think would be the just about the worst horse racing announcer, who would it be? I start this thread because I just had an image of Gilber Godfrey calling a horse race.

Good One!

IMAGINE!...GILBERT GODFREY!!!...CALLING A HORSE RACE!!!!

A HORSE WALKS UP TO THE RACING OFFICIAL. THE OFFICIAL SAYS TO THE HORSE "ARE YOU RACING IN THE STAKE NEXT WEEK?" THE HORSE SAYS "I DON'T KNOW. DO YOU HAVE MY NUMBER?"!!!

Funny Stuff Everyone! I can just imagine all of these people and their voices doing a call with some of their mannerisms/patterns from public shows/speeches/events.

And I can't stand it - I've got this routine building in my head of Gilbert Gotfried calling a horse race using his delievery and format style from his famous/infamous Aristoracts Joke. But I am working right now, and am busy moving this afternoon. Kinda hope it goes away, because that joke in it's original format is quite blue, and I don't know that my take on it, even though it is horse racing, would get to stay up. ("...And they ran down the stretch through all the mud, and the horse shit, and the sweat - eww! sweat! as the jockeys kept hitting their horses with their whips as they came to the finish line...)

Or Bugs Bunny

As the horses cross the wire, his signature call would be-


" That's All Folks........."

I once heard Jack Klugman call a race - it wasn't great but it was preferable to him doing so now.

Others I would not want to hear:

Lionel Stander
Eugene Pallette
Paul Lynde
Don Cornelius
Sterling Halloway
John Fiedler
John Houseman
William F. Buckley

Although I wouldn't to hear him do more than race, Don Rickles might be interesting.

You mean the Academy Award winning actress Hattie McDaniels?...methinks your are mistaking the PART for the PERSON. She was very well respected in Hollywood as a matter of fact when the Lowe's theater in Atlanta premiered the film GWTW, and the cast was told that she was not allowed in the all white theater, the entire cast said without her, you can forget us.

I visited her grave (pink headstone) in North Hollywood and would have loved to have met her in person.

You are exactly right, I was meaning the part not the person. Just like when I mentioned Fran D., I was meaning her obnoxious persona in the TV series she was on. I met her in person, and she was nothing like on the show. I think plenty of people are taking the Part route when you consider how many Simpson characters have been mentioned.

I can only imagine:

And they're off.

Horse one goes to the lead. He may look good, but we need PERSPECTIVE with this. GREATNESS is DURABILITY and CONSISTENCY over a LONG PERIOD of time. This horse has shown FLASHES of brilliance, but he's not at the top yet.

The opening quarter in :22.2. This was likely caused by the LASIX INFILITRATING the game. All that matters is the HORSE and nothing else. Meanwhile, horse two moves up into second, a D. Wayne Lukas trainee who has been BROKEN DOWN by the horse's worst enemy. They're into the stretch, and horse three takes the lead, who I voted for in the SOVERIGN AWARDS.
