Not his best call but his recording has captured not only the excitement in his voice but also the 'wave' referred to above. Will try do some cut and paste stuff after and stick it on Youtube with a link to it on here.

    Paul your boy is a natural, you can hear in his voice the admiration he has for the sport and his hero Smoken Up.
    You should send a link to "In the Gig". I think Tappy would love it.
    Thanks Paul and Luke for sharing your experience and a great race call.

    Thank you all again. He's rapt to have been there and rapt with your comments.

    Keep following your dream Luke and I am sure that one day it will come true. I never owned a pacer but used to take my son to the local trots, from the age of 5 he would tie a set of reins to the fence sit on a chair and would drive the "horse"and call the race. He did this until he was about 14 years old, he then got a chance to drive a horse in track work. I bought him his first horse at 16 yrs. he went on to get his drivers and trainers licence. Even though he drove some winners he always only wanted to be a trainer, two years ago he was in the position to become a full time trainer which he has been very successful at. He is at present 4th in the state trainers list and 9th in the national list. So I am sure Luke that with the great support you get from your family all your dreams will come true.
