When Cassidy was calling the NYRA races I believe the timer was started manually once the horses past the flag man. Cassidy would wait until the horses past the flag to start describing the race.
That's my perception.

Oil would sit in the lower level of the grandstand at both Yonkers and Roosevelt He'd handicap the race, then go into a rendition of calling the race as he saw it.
He did an impression of Bob Meyer.
He used all of Meyer's phrases.
He finally got the job calling Monticello. As I understand it, Oil has been there several years.

Accurate, does not think he is the show. Sans the screaming, yelling and gutural noise.

I grew up listening to him too. Would call the sports line, something like 718 976-6969 from a payphone 30 years ago and you could hear the last 20 seconds of his race call.
He had the same phrases for various parts of the race. I remember:
Threeeee Kawtuers, 131 and ooooonnnee. Round the far turn
Aaaaas theyyyyyyyyyy come by tha stands tha fis time

In the late 80's I believe the announcer at Garden State used to say:
"They're In...........They're Out".
At Great Lakes Downs I recall it was "Break Time", and "Coming Round the I-96 Turn".
Those were from the early days of YouBet!, where one could actually watch and bet on the races from their computer.
