"Dave Johnson was doing thi in the early 70's"
NCT,
With all respect, DJ has called races much much later than the 1970"s.
He definitely picked up TD's habit of calling horses by cap and silk color.
TD does that very smoothly day to day. DJ's calls were more methodical. Not as natural as his "Down the Stretch they come..."
As Cervantes wrote (or maybe the soundtrack says in Man of La Manch) "To each his Ducinea....that he alone may find....a racecaller with a voice pure who isn't blind...."
I primarily play West Coast tracks from an East Coast location. I hear him almost every day during the meets he racecalls. He is fine by me.
Clown, you are hilarious.
