"What a Wonderful World" Department
Dave johnson's horse racing calls. I was coming home from work last Saturday, turned on sportsradio and it happened just about to be post-time at the preakness.
The start was delayed and then delayed again and again. Then they had trouble getting some horse in the gate. I was already home by now but just drove around the block in circles so I wouldn't miss Johnson's call.
Finally the race started. Johnson not only has a signature phrase but he also calls a very good race. You can see the race through your radio. Very articulate too. No stumbles, no mispronunciations. And then,
"DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME!...."
Gave me a tingle down my spine. Always does.
