John Hernan was excellent.

Ken Middleton too.

Tom Durkin for the T-breds...

Post by: SeattleSlew on May 15, 2026, 02:34:55 AM: Agree on Jack E. Lee. There used to be a bettor who would stand near the track and would yell up to Jack all of the time; when his horses lost he ATE the tickets after he was done yelling at Jack.

Round the clubhouse turn the final time.
They round the far turn and it's ------ the strong horse, down the center of the track, to get the lead.

Post by: harnessplop on May 16, 2026, 01:04:39 PM: That Lederman call linked above freehold was excellent. In looking at his obituary he was preceded in death by his wife and daughter ..she was 31 I think. How terrible that is..bad enough agreat race race caller getting inoperable brain cancer and passing at 68..but his wife n daughter preceded his death makes it upsetting.
