Peter Berry done with racecalling??

You have NO IDEA how wrong you are in both of these assumptions. Not...even...close.

If I had my druthers Mr. Berry would be calling both the Louisiana Downs meets. I'm sure Mr. McGary is a good guy, and once the race starts he's a good caller, but he begins every race with, "Ready. For a start." It's delivered in a monotone, and I've started hearing it in my sleep, lol.

I actually LOVE his "Ready. For a start." shtick...but I'm weird like that.

So weird in fact, you might catch me walking around my house saying "Ready. For a start!" I like it so much...

LOL! Different strokes, and all...

I'm actually looking forward to observing how Mr. McGary ad libs a late gate problem after he's already declared the race Ready. For a start.

I'm the same with the before the gate stuff. I love it. races imbriale or travis are calling when there's three left to load I always say "Waiiiiiting forrrr"

For years at Portland our equibase guy in the office next to mine would always says "All in....locked up" which is what Geller would say before races at emerald.

For some reason I'm partial to the guy at Remington Park. I'm ashamed to say I don't know his name. He does his best work in the stretch, particularly in close finishes ("RACE ON!!!")

A typical example:

2016 Oklahoma Derby

I found it works well to say it right before sex.

I hadn't heard that guy at all until my mother ran one of her horses down there. My mother's horse did nothing, but there was a horse who ran off to a big lead and then pooped out in the stretch. As he was being passed the announcer said "[so-and-so] is out of gas and isn't anywhere near a filling station".

I thought that was pretty good.

"There all .....…"

Well said.

Just a quick FYI:
