best race announcer to call--------

[halfinhalfout]

Billy Perkins must have had a few cocktails prior to the races at Rosecroft, as we looped the field three deep around the last turn and drew off at 64 to 1
Perkins says 'Bombs Away, shut the door, turn out the lights'.......I was laughing my ass off.
At Ocean Downs Billy had silent ownership in a horse that could stop on a dime....they did some vet work and 'treated him'.....Perkins mentioned that his horse was not going to stop that night. Race goes off, he is up 5 at the half, 3 at the ocean turn for home and his race call was at a fevered pitch...like death and taxes the horse quit and his call ended with..'the son of a bitch stopped again'....true story

What does everyone think of the cal expo guy?

I think Scott is a great and accurate race caller.  Hopefully he calls my filly under the wire first tomorrow night for her maiden win.

Sorry to make this post and see your comment!

What was it like winning by the length of the stretch?

My biggest victory was 6+ at the meadowlands.

My homebred won by 12 at Rosecroft when I didn’t own him.

We were 4-5 at the final flash of the odds so I figured he'd win but to win by around 10 in the snow was the coolest thing.  Only regret was not betting him on top of everyone in an exacta since a 60-1 got up for second at the wire.

Scott is ok as a racecaller--he does Cumberland also

as far as his handicapping--he is a lifetime heavy gambler--so at least he has experience in providing insights on a race that most of us may not have thought of

Good Luck Titans

Was Jim Moran taught by Max Robinson who called races at Batavia in the 70’s and 80’s??  The ‘infamous’ “here they are@ at the finish of the race was the same as Max.

Jim’s uncle Bud Hebert was his mentor and former announcer at Vernon. Here they are originated with Roy Shudt at Brandywine and Hollywood Park.
