Default Did anyone hear Dave Johnson's call of the W.Virginia Derby?

I heard the audio call of this past Sunday's West Virginia Derby. Boy, did Dave Johnson sound more confused than Micheal Matz at the Preakness draw. He couldn't get the running order right and when Bright One took off in the stretch, he forgot to use his signature call "And down the stretch they come!"
until the horse past the eighth pole. Here's a guy who's time has past him. Other than calling races on the radio, I don't think he has any air time on T.V.
I guess track announcer at the Meadowlands (for part of the meet) in the Fall is the best work he can get. Time to hang it up, Dave!
