Monmouth Park - Behind the Scenes with Larry Collmus

A behind the scenes look at Monmouth Park track announcer Larry Collmus. See how one of the best in the business prepares for and calls a race.

I always wanted to be a track announcer. That was brilliant. Check out my race calls.

It was a sad day when Bob Weems had to retire due to health reasons. I swore no one could fill his shoes but Larry Collmus does an excellent job, I am 45 years old now and these are the only Monmouth Park callers I have ever heard and I was going there since the age of 11. For those that do not know, MP is located near the Jersey shore in a town of about 6,000 people. It truly is a beautiful track and very family friendly. If you ever get anywhere near Oceanport, NJ you have to spend a day here.

shawn 415, vic stauffer was not a race caller. I believe he's the top 5 race callers in the country.

Trevor Denman and Tom Durkin are the top of the food chain as far as race announcers. Now if you wanna talk about being "original" then here are the best and you can youtube the race that set them apart from Larry C: Michael Wrona: Itsallgreektome (Hollywood Turf Cup) Vic Stuffer: After Market vs Lava Man (C. Whittingham) and Runnaway Dancer (Sunset Handicap) Tony Calo: Both Lost in the fogs races Now, I have my proof wheres yours?

By the way race 8 was on the grass track!!

[@graphicmanvideo]

I was a personal friend of Bob Weems and spent time in the Press Box at Monmouth. It's a little know fact that Bob was colorblind! Both announcers are excellent. Bob's predecessor was Morris Toby who was awesome!!

[@dinney123]

sry, you're right shawn415, he is a race caller. haha. wow...i'm stupid.

[@carlykaiser]

Um. Sorry, I still don't see your point. I was talking about Trevor, and Trevor alone.

[@shawn415]

ARE YOU INSANE? He is not even in the top 5 race callers. And I know. Larry Collmus used to call races in Northern California. So are you saying that Larry C is better than: Trevor Denman "Big Daddy" Vic Stuffer Michael Wrona Tom Durkin Tony Calo No.......... BY FAR.

@joefederico bob weems was great

[@carlykaiser]

Ew, Trevor? When is the last time he came up with something original? "He's coming like an express train!" "He's being EAAASSED" "Ears pricked/cocked!" "He's just plain, TOO GOOD" Get new lines, Trevor!
