RIP to track announcer Gary Henson and winning jockey Ron Hansen!

Henson's voice was second to none. Hearing his voice brings back so many great Longacres memories. Thanks for posting.

let's not forget Harry Hensen...gary's pop's...he was the man before Gary......
-
gary's son Brian has the same voice.....and he can still rip off a replay and sound just like pop's....
-
Growing up, so privileged to be apart of those days. Sassy Slicker, and Grandpa's Pookie were my favorite...

Unfortunately, Gary Henson passed away a few years ago. The announcer at Tampa Bay Downs is Richard Grunder, who has been there for about 20 years. He is also a jockey's agent at Canterbury Park where he announced in 1990.

the announcer at Tampa Bay Downs sounds just like Gary Hensen. Is that him? I haven't checked so I don't know for sure.
Don't forget Chum Salmon! Now which Longacres mile did he come from behind and win? That was the best race EVER! :-D
