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.

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.

Congrats....Hot Springs is a great town. A poor man's Saratoga, which still is pretty good.
