Title: Vic Stauffer to call at Hot Springs
Post by: dodie on August 12, 2016, 02:46:15 AM

 stauffer at OP (http://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/stauffer-to-call-oaklawn-races-in-2017/)

I met him in the early 90\'s when he called at the Woodlands.  He conducted several handicapping seminars and was very professional with crowds of mostly racing neophytes.  Continues to seem like a quality guy that cares about the game.  The \"other\' spa is a good fit for him.

Stauffer was the GP announcer at one point, and gave lots of TG seminars. Many people said he was the best at it. Actual quote:

\"Ladies and gentleman, my name is Vic Stauffer, I\'m the race caller here at Gulfstream. Today is Florida Derby day, my busiest day of the year, and I would rather be somewhere else than talking to you right now. But I get Thoro-Graph free, and I want to continue to\".

Everybody here in the \"primary SPA\" is quite pleased to have Vic.  We\'re hearing from everyone how excited they are this week.  # 2 topic of conversation after the heat.  Is it just as hot at the \"secondary SPA\"?
