Outside the Lincoln field I have a secret life, check out one of my deepest darkest secrets!

Good luck, Thomas! My favorite race caller was Tom Durkin (retired a few years ago).

My friend Larry Collmus took over for him at NYRA

Very cool!



Fido was curious if you are going to call any greyhound races?

Those races are too fast. I might give it a go in the Daytona Kennel Club grandstand for chuckles!

Trying singing along with this to get you warmed up.

I tend to do breath management on the backing vocals and this Flanders tongue twister:

Well, I'll be dog- gone. Who knew! Lol. Yes, very cool Thomas.

Thanks everyone! Spent the day at Pimlico yesterday, where I got to rub shoulders with racing's finest, including Bob Baffert and Justin Zayat of team Pharoah and the members of Team Nyquist!

I can well believe that if our young forum member pursues this as a career, he will be the best in the business.

My first time seeing this thread. Congratulations, Thomas. You had mentioned this "passion" before, so I'm glad to see that you are pursuing it.

[RJNorton]

TVG just reported that one person, minutes ago, bet $80,000 to win on Stradivari (post position number 11 in the Preakness). I think they said the bet was made at Laurel.

So far no comment from Nyquist.

[Eva Elisabeth]

Did you also rub shoulders with Nyquist or Pharao? (I love horses...would be most cool!) In any case kudos and best of success to you!!!

[RJNorton]

Thanks, Eva. I love horses, too. I just cannot understand anyone betting $80,000 on a horse race.

Congratulations, Thomas! I love to see it when people are so drawn to their passion. This is wonderful!
