Hollywood Futurity- 12/14/13

[Dave in TJ Mex]

I thought the call was over the top a bit IMO. He reminded me of the guy at Woodbine
Dan Louiselle. I thought his voice went wacky in the stretch run lol

I think Vic is an excellent race caller. He is fast, clear and accurate, and often exciting.

But sometimes he overdoes it with a his "this is a future superstar" hype while watching some horse win a race by daylight. 

I like Shared Belief, but history has seen lots of hot shot two year olds who look like future superstars, and instead turn out to be nothing more than physically precocious horses who are bypassed when their peers physically grow up as three year olds.

But the nature of virtually all sports venue public address announcers (in football, basketball, etc.) is to try to create excitement among the fans by giving exciting "calls."  Its part of the job these days.
