I like most announcers - they drown out the drunken oafs hollering for their horses to come in.

I've tried to make the same declaration. It never holds.

Don't get me started Victor. You've opened the right door in this building.
Call me a sap - I still get goose bumps on your adroit call in the '06 FL Derb

Great races and great horses are the bump providers.

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

For me, GP is a different place. You're missed by some of us.
Though LarryC is a prince of guy.

Battaglia doesn't call KEE - he's the M/L maker.

I believe Kurt Becker calls KEE races.
Could be wrong about that.

You got it - from the beginning (of live callers), I believe.

Yep, guess I was in a Turfway state of mind when I wrote that. I stand corrected. The point was that I have no problem with the sounds of silence.
That being said, there are many fine announcers out there that truly enhance the sport.
Carry on, Carry on,

Am I the only one that got the joke? Keeneland went without any announcers until the 90's.
