Mark has become a jack of all trades
He sounded pretty dam good....for a person who has not had a ltt of experience calling 10 horse fields in competetive races

7 or 8 horses on a half mile track is much easier...but builds experience

Nice job Mark !

Could we please get an update from some WEGS knowledgable folks on mr middleton condition when available? Ken is a quality announcer and from all accounts seems a equally fine person. Thank you
