2. A current or former racecaller who feels unfairly treated.
3. Someone who has never called a race in his life, desperately wants too and cannot get a break so takes it out on what he perceives (rightly or wrongly) as cronyism.
Whatever room there was for a discussion of caller opportunity based on talent, versus caller opportunity based on who wants to help you has long since sailed because of his vindictiveness.
But the fact remains there are far inferior callers to Peter Berry calling at tracks over the winter who should be lining up to hire him!
If anyone on the forum is visiting Rillito, stop by the Announcing Booth and say Hi to me in February and March!

Okay, Craig...let's try and decipher what you are trying to say here:
You admit that there are "far inferior" racecallers than Peter Berry working out there, and that there are tracks out there which should be "lining up to hire Berry"...but you neglected to tell us why you think Berry is without a winter job, and why these tracks, who are in obvious need of his services, are unwilling to hire him.
Astrofan presented his "theory"...which you found "unsatisfactory" because of your assumptions of who Astrofan is in relation to this game. Would you care to enlighten us on this topic with a theory of your own? If Peter Berry is as "Truly great!" as we all think he is...why isn't he working somewhere right now?
