Long-time Kentucky Derby caller until NBC took the rights away from ABC. Now calls the West Virginia Derby from Mountaineer and the Meadowlands meet. He may get to call the Belmont now that ABC gets the right to the final leg of the Triple Crown. (Add picture)

His annoying 'and down the stretch they come' catch phrase needs to be retired. He is so worried about using it in big races, he misses calling horses making moves because he has to work it in there. Overrated

For me Dave Johnson is the voice of American Racing. I first heard him call the Triple Crown races on British Television, and on the Armed Forces Radio. His calls were exciting, and I loved his "Down The Stretch They Come" Along with Trevor Denman they are head and shoulders above the rest. Surprised that Dave Johnson was not prized away from ABC, when the Breeders' Cup began in 1984?

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME! That phrase he would yell in the lane was the greatest single line I have ever heard in the game.

Please Louie, the greatest ever, you must be drunk. Over the top on down the stretch they come. He is nothing more than average.

Clearly on the downside of his legendary career. I don't mind his And down the stretch they come call, but many people don't like it.
