Default Larry Colmus
This is the guy for the Churchill Downs announcer job. Clear, concise, and accurate calls without any foreign accent!

Wow, you guys and gals need to watch some races. Colmus is all over the place. Gulfstream, Monmouth, Suffolk, and Meadowlands.

I even wonder why he would want the CD job. Seems like he has a pretty sweet rotation of tracks.

I am not sure that those 3 should be in the same sentence as Churchill.

Nothing like being a man of your word.....

It is a shocker.

The funniest thing was that during the contest he had the audacity to question whether or not you were honorable.

This post has obviously changed directions. I want Larry Colmus as the announcer at Churchill Downs! The Derby does not need to be called by some arrogant Australian!

Can you spell Larry another way than L-A-R-R-Y? OK, Collmus has 2 Ls. I still believe he is better than the previous options.
