I thought it was Longo, but now that I think about it--it was a little guy they called "ISH" I think his last name was Przyblski, he rode in the starters car with Al Jozwiak if I'm not mistaken!! Luc, correct me if I'm wrong!!

Why not?  Both industries (t-bred and standardbred) can always use new and perhaps more exciting announcers.  Does anybody have an idea of the average age is in this field?  Free auditions and it doesn't cost anyone anything until if/when they get hired.

I think it would be good practice for apprentice race callers
Agreed. But, the aspiring race caller still needs to be at that level of competence.

HOW WOULD THIS HELP THE GAME? I WOULD SUGGEST DOING LIKE TBREDS AND CANCEL QUALIFERS AND JUST RACE OFF A WORKOUT. NO QUALIFIERS NEEDED.

Tracks should have announcers. Very few do now, just people calling horses names.
