This has the makings of an awesome ATR visit. Jack Whitaker has worked some of the most memorable racing days in my life, Secretariat's Derby to Ruffian's match race, to name a few. I look forward to it.

I have no idea who he is. Although I do know how the current cast of sports broadcasters would make this guy look like Plato.

Just had a chance to listen to the Jack Whitaker interview. It was really great to hear him again. Thanks Steve for bring back some great memories.
