I've been in De. For 38 years and its always been Jack at Dover. I can't remember when he missed a night in that time.

Question....do you remember a trotter from about the late 9o,s into the early 2000,s named Storemont Northstar
He won a boat load of races on that circuit and retired at 14 years old....asking because i had a piece of him when he raced in Ontario and then sold him.. to a trainer named Bob  something, forgot the last name....im pretty sure the horse has passed on by now

[MTP1972]

The trainer's name was Bob Stevenson, his daughter Janet is married to Eddie Davis Jr I'm not positive but think Bob may have passed away fairly recently

[Kirby's Ace]

Bob is a hell of a guy. I hope not. Haven't heard anything that he passed. But I know he was up in age.

In 1997 he was 3, so he would be 31....prolly gone....if its Stormy you are talking about...or are you referring to Bob

[Kirby's Ace]

Yes

In Sweden, there are microchips in the horse's saddle pads. Currently, it shows where each horse is during the race. They tested last week, where an AI program called a race. It was actually was not bad. It could be seen in the future here once the kinks are worked out.

Witherite is the heir apparent for both Dover and Harrington

its just a matter of time

Oh gosh, say it ain’t so. JW is accurate, but his pompous nature affects his calls. Till him, never  heard an announcer say “ entering the winner’s enclosure”. What is this, Royal Ascot? He has said“ they are on the apex of the turn”. Well, still infinitely better than John Horne from Vernon. Ugh. Ok, will take my meds now.

so a person who is highly intelligent and uses words that most harness fans have problems comprehending makes him pompous?

he is the best harness race caller out there..period.

some tracks don't have a winners circle(like Harrington)so saying the "winners enclosure" is 100% accurate

are you sure you know what "apex" means?

saying "Yimmy" is also accurate

I am sorry that your insecurities make you feel James is pompous

[Kirby's Ace]

You tell him James!

Thank you, Papillon, after it took the 373 rd post by me to elicit a response such as yours. I feel like I have been officially accepted into the Plop HOF.

JWR is an above average announcer.  Would love him to take over Delaware circuit.
