Default Travis & NTamm highlighting the LaDowns feed

Travis' calls a standard of course at LaDowns, but Nick's paddock work a delightful addition! Tune in to feed if you haven't yet...

Great job guys!

I attempted to get Nick's attention after he left his gig in the winner's circle before the River Cities, but he obviously knows to steer clear of Derby Trailers.

You ain't gettin' no attention? I spoke with Nick for a few minutes between Super Derby & River Cities. Railbirds left in a hurry after big race. I was hanging out in same area! See ya next year...

New intro - please welcome the "always delightful" Nick Tammaro... Andy, you have one wicked sense of humor. You should join us for Delta Jackpot in November.

Nick has been a huge help on Super Derby Day the past few years, and also Michael Chamberlain who steps in to call a few for me with the busy workload.

We had a pretty good day yesterday... handle on the entire card was up a little over 20%, and the Super Derby itself a bit more than that. On-track handle also grew, which helps in many other areas as well.

That's delightful news.

An eclectic group of gamblers must have been willing to wager on the interesting races. If it wasn't for a nefarious group of hooligans standing in front of me, I would have had the pick 4. All in all I thought Nick was scrumptious as well as delightful his plucky personality shimmers like a well dappled ruffian.

Next year I'm bringing a sign that will read, "Nick . . . a delightful addition." Steve Byk.
