What a shit call. Mid race sounds like he loses interest

Ya que Chávez se parece tanto a Calígula, ¿Porqué no pone a Cañonero en el Panteón Nacional?

@PhilistineTheArtLuvr I do not know for sure if it is Aly Khan making the call, but andreseloym has posted the 1971 Preakness (color) - look for "Cañonero II (Wins)Gana Preakness Stakes 1971". edenper has a very good version from Velenzuelan TV shown during an interview with jockey Gustavo Avila - look for "Gustavo Avila, Cañonero II, 2da carrera Triple Corona 1971". Mr. Avila is a cool character, but he can suppress a smile. Your right, I don't speak Spanish, but it is an exciting call.

I sat on my bed and audio taped this. I used to play it over and over. I live near Pimlico, so I got to see his Preakness on the lead!

It's too bad Americans have never had the chance to listen to Venezuela's Aly Khan narrate a horse race. Look him up and listen to him in Spanish. I'm sure you'll get the feeling he was one of the best, if not the best, narrators in the history of horse racing even if you don't understand what he's saying.
