Nice article about track announcer John Dooley

http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=311168

I've always enjoyed Dooley's racecalls at Fair Grounds. His delivery is clear and it usually matches the tempo of a race. I also like that he saves his excitement for the bigger stakes and truly outstanding performances. For example, here is his call of Eight Belles' smashing win in a Fair Grounds allowance.
