His name, his vocal delivery, the whole two-thousand two-hundred yards! Remember how he used to say the name of that racehorse in the 1980s, the horse named Love That Mac? What a stylist!

Theoretically, statistically, a fine, contentious race from 35,000 ft.; however, the hooves-on-the-ground reality cannot always result in the big payoff.

Listen to the patrician delivery of Marshall Cassidy when he says &lsquo;the <em>hahff<\/em> in forty-six-and-two&rsquo;. Patrician! Also, if you can dig up tape of him calling a Love That Mac race, that will make you feel all warm and tingly inside.
