I remember some negativity on this board about his calls the last few years; probably my post was poorly worded. I have great memories of him from the brief time we spent with him.

Terry Wallace was a great, funny, guy; it's too bad he called races a bit too long and is remembered for that. He had memory issues before he passed. Remember him fondly, though, a unique character.

More kudos for Lonnie. I haven't had to contact DRF for a long time, but he has helped in the past, quickly and graciously. He represents the DRF in a great manner.

Stately Victor, the 2010 Blue Grass winner on synthetic. I was convinced he would run a good race on dirt and I think this was the most I ever bet on a Derby horse.
