Richie....the guy who does the impressions is Frank Mirhamadi (sp?), one of my favorites, and the guy who currently does Louisiana Downs and used to do Hialeah and a little Fairgrounds after Tony Bentley left.
I cannot stand Vic Stauffer. He is really bad. Every stakes race, at the wire he announces the winner and then screams "Yessss"; just so unneccessary. When there is a horse who is clearly winning big, he gives very little information about what's going on behind him. He just repeats the winner's name a bunch of times. It's hilarious when he attempts to predict the winner on the turn. "You better take a look at so and so in the blue sleeves." If i bet that horse i just throw my ticket out every time. Sometimes I think he's watching a different race than me. The worse is when he says a horse draws clear and pulls away from another horse in the stretch, only to find out 70 yards later that the horse never pulled away....so Stauffer gives credit for the other horse making a miracle recovery on the rail. What a clown (no offense CtC).
Mike Battaglia is horrendous, but gets lucky that Turfway is such a good betting track. I do not mind as much.
Let Larry Ledderman call some thoroughbred races again. Ahh the days of Garden State Park.
