Good Luck to Vic Stauffer at OP
Looking forward to hearing your voice call races again. Best of luck. Love the Oaklawn meet. Sounds like it is going to be a good one.

Stauffer said he was so concerned about rust, that leading up to the Oaklawn meeting he planned to go to Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots and practice calling races from the press box.

His past-performance lines include calling icons like 2002 Horse of the Year and three-time Oaklawn Apple Blossom (G1) champion Azeri; 2010 Horse of the Year Zenyatta, a two-time Apple Blossom winner; and 2006 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) winner Barbaro.

One of the things that nauseates me about corporate sponsorship is how it leads to bad writing from hack publications. Is the money the Blood Horse gets for referring to the Fair Grounds as "Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots" and the Derby as "Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands" really worth putting this sort of dreck in their publication?
And is this sort of writing really worth even one cent? Does Yum! Brands (whatever that is) gain any benefit because the Blood Horse puts that designation in a story about a totally unrelated race meeting's track announcer?
Just stop, Blood Horse. Write in plain English sentences. You don't have to take every last cent from every last source.

no doubt in my mind, Vic gives a first class call along with many others calling races these days.

I wonder if Vic is going to be doing any handicapping for Oaklawn. He's a good handicapper.
