Next Wednesday on April 5th.

The "Voice Of New York Racing" is coming back to his "dream job" after abandoning the "dream job" again once the weather got chilly.

Hey, I understand the bags of money and the gig at Gulfstream but I will never accept Mr. Collmus as the "Voice of New York Racing". I'll accept the "Voice of Pony Cash" though.

Travis does the Churchill calls now but beyond a day or two or three Churchill Downs is a second-tier track on a par with Philly Park.

I'd like to see Travis catch the NYRA gig - he's a homebred.

Tom was great to work with when I was a computer operator with AutoTote. When bad things happened and the results were delayed Tom would call down to the computer room and always preface his call with, "Hi, this is Tom the announcer...".

Sweet guy, always a gentleman.
