Grand National Fences To Be Made Safer. [02:11]
Fences at this year's Grand National are being made safer in the biggest change in the history of the race.

1997 Hambletonian- Called by Ray Cotolo [02:44]

So enjoy the 1997 Hambletonian call by me, Ray Cotolo. If you know harness racing, you may notice I sound a bit like John Bothy, the announcer at The Meadowlands at this time.

If you do like, like and comment anything you'd like to hear me announce :).
