Joined today, live from Belmont Park, with the voice of the Triple Crown, the legendary Larry Collmus. Larry talks about how he always dreamed of being the voice of horse racing since he was a teenager in Maryland, how he climbed the ranks calling races all over the country and how a random call from a 212 phone number in 2011 changed Larry’s life. We hear about Larry’s first time calling the Kentucky Derby, from his wobbly jello legs to him not being able to listen to “My Old Kentucky Home”. He tells us about all the preparation that goes into calling a race, from his flash cards to studying the night before the races. We go down the emotional road of finally calling a triple crown winning race with American Pharoah and then 3 years later with Justify. From his summers in Saratoga to drunk texting one of the most famous horse trainers in the world, Larry lives up to his reputation as a great announcer and amazing storyteller.
