I think anyone mentioning a little know race caller needs to dig up a link to one of their calls. Also do any of you SoCal racing encyclopedias like Vic and Dilan remember a trainer at Los Al that had the golden touch with 870 yard horses winning $20k claimers with horses he claimed for as little as $2k. They would start climbing the ladder after he claimed them and start descending quickly as soon as he lost them. I think it was sometime in the 80's. I don't recall his name, it was finally found he was giving the poor things heroin. I don't remember his name, nor where I read it. It had to be in the Herald Examiner, LA Times, OC Register or the Racing Form. I was pissed when the Herald went out of business.
