Except now you can also find it locally on FM-103.9 and the world over on one of those streaming collectives. A Philadelphia institution.<\/p>\n<p>They always played that canned teletype sound under the announcer\u2019s messages. From this station, we learned to listen for a lot of different things: news, current events, politics, world affairs sports, weather, traffic. We took-in terms like \u2018gaper block\u2019, \u2018Delaware Valley\u2019, \u2018PATCO High-Speed Line\u2019, \u2018The Tacony-Palmyra Bridge\u2019, \u2018Penn Relays\u2019, \u2018Dad Vail Regatta\u2019, \u2018Franklin Field\u2019, \u2018JFK Stadium\u2019, \u2018Eugene Ormandy\u2019, \u2018Valery Giscard d\u2019Estaing\u2019, so many others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When racing was a legit thing, before the casinos and all the other forms of casual wagering came into play, the results and prices from Keystone, Liberty Bell, Brandywine and Atlantic City would be announced at :15 and :45, after the major sports news. When place paid the same as or more than win, or when show paid the same or more than place, the announcer always intoned afterwards \u2018and that\u2019s OK\u2019. So you might hear something like, \u2018And the fifth race at Keystone was won by Pyramid Zotts&#8230;four-twenty, two-sixty, two-sixty and that\u2019s OK&#8230;\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>BestLine Racing Society Recap<\/strong>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Six different locations this afternoon: Monmouth, Gulf, Saratoga, Woodbine, Del Mar and \u2014 would you believe? \u2014 Century Mile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The opener at Monmouth had winner #7 Trilogy (.289 Win Prob \/ 2.14-1 Fair Odds \/ 2.77-1 Premium Odds) and runner-up #1 Analyzethisandthat (.289 \/ 2.46-1 \/ 3.15) combining for a valuable $27.40 exacta whose premium price was $23.75.<\/p>\n<p>Race 2 there had #6 Above Par (.220 \/ 3.55 \/ 5.36) winning at an overlayed $13.60.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Race 10 there found #10 Cabinet Pik (.151 \/ 5.62 \/ 6.95) prevailing at a better-than-premium $24.80.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At Woodbine, it was #7 Big Band Luzziann (.189 \/ 4.29 \/ 5.35) paying $19.10 to win.

KMOX-AM the big station there, CBS affiliate, clear-channel, and once in a while, during the hot summer months, a little before sunrise and just after, you could pull it down on an analog radio dial with just the right touch, all the way from South Jersey. Insane.
