best race announcer to call--------
« on: February 18, 2025, 11:21:13 PM »
a race you won as an owner/trainer/driver/groom?

My 2 announcers to call wins for me were:

Mike Sardella
Joe Ricci

Most intriguing call:

Larry Lederman (RIP)

Could have done better:

Ken Warkentin

Sadly for me 5 of my 6 wins as an owner came with Roger Houston calling.  So I'll have to give it to Jeff Zidek for filling in during a bad snowstorm and my horse winning by the length of the stretch.

Kurt Becker was on the call of my first winning drive at the Altamont fair in IL.

My First win in NJ Larry Lederman gave me his " if it was a fight they'd stop it" call.

My first Meds win Sam was on the call.

Ken Warkentin gave me my probably favorite call as my then horse Andwin Hanover won parked the mile at Freehold, he said "And win Hanover just will not go away"...all terrific memories.

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.

What does everyone think of the cal expo guy?
Hes not terrible.  Seems to be a very intelligent guy gives a very detailed opinion on picks.
