Trevor is a South African, the guy at Churchill is an Englishman. The fellow at Louisiana Downs that replaced Travis is a Limey. There are others.
No good no more for American race callers?
I don't understand a lot of things but as an Irish American with dead ancestors and relatives (as late as 1916) who fought the English for centuries I'm not thrilled with the accents at American racetracks.
Maybe the Obama Man can roll out a stimulus package for Yank race callers.

Did Travis quit, or was he replaced? I can't understand why the gig at Gulfstream is better, other than having that chick by his side.

Me thinks its bout meeting more people and his buddy the GP race caller helped him get the cappin gig. Andf I would prefer GP over the Quarter Horses at Louisiana Downs.

Pretty sure I read that he goes back to LAD when the thoroughbreds return, which I'm pretty sure is the last week of March or first week of April.

Maybe the Obama Man can roll out a stimulus package for Yank race callers. It could be worse, they could be French accents....
