Vic Stauffer Today

[Kermit]

What about the clever quips that Michael can spontaneously put into his call like a horse is further back than his car payment
or a horse is speeding on the lead faster than a Kardasian wedding. I don't hear the other 100 + track announcers saying
anything close to that or as clever as that.

But... that's just entertainment, has nothing to do with the race. Goof's entertainment is to be enthusiastically involved in the race.

The fact that Michael can throw those clever quips into his calls spontaneously shows me his incredible wit and timing
that no other track announcer can match. Also his description of how race is run and his accuracy between lengths of
runners is unrivaled. I can find dozens of DMTC members that will attest that he is the best track announcer in the
States.

I enjoy his calls, no complaints. I can (and so can you) follow a race myself, I just use numbers and hope they are the same ones that are on my tickets.

I couldn't do it. So he made some mistakes--who hasn't? Was there anyone at HP today who noticed? Was there anyone at HP today at all? Their attendance has not been real good this season; in fact it's been horrible. At least Vic has a passion for the sport.

Hollywood Park lists 3,533 as attendance.

Thought his "stalking like a panther" call on Northern Iowa in the 8th was very clever.

Hmmmm- I like all three callers mentioned and I am sure none of us have ever messed anything up at work. I like that Vic comes to visit the forum and think that most of the time he does a darn good job. Even with all the acolades given here - have Wrona or Trevor ever made an appearance?

Wrona was I believe but left the forum awhile back. Mary can confirm.

DMTC still a tough room. Thought my Hollywood Derby call was pretty solid. Called all 14 three times. No pauses or hesitations. Painted a pretty good picture.

Not as much fun to give atta boys. Easier to judge, knock and hate.

So, you want us to give you an "atta boy" for something that you are supposed to do anyway (and paid to do as well)????

I don't " want " you to do anything.

I share my thoughts good and not so good just like anybody else on this forum.
