KTTC
Member of the Month April 2001
Jonathan
Horowitz
Jonathan
Horowitz played a huge role in making KTTC's trip to the
Santa Anita Derby an event to remember when he announced the
third race on Friday, April 6 at the Arcadia oval. The 16-year-old
Irvine, CA resident is an avid race caller and has announced
races at Lone Star Park, Turf Paradise and Los Alamitos. But,
it was his dream to call one at the venerable oval, Santa Anita.
Thanks to KTTC and management at Santa Anita, Horowitz got his
chance as part of KTTC's weekend extravaganza.
Alongside
renown racing commentator Trevor Denman, Horowitz made the most
of his opportunity and delivered an outstanding race call that
drew rave reviews from patrons and racing experts. There's no
doubt that this young man will be heard from loudly, clearly
and accurately at a track somewhere soon.
Kurt Hoover,
of the Santa Anita television staff, interviewed Horowitz on
the Fox Sports Network following the race and the youngster
demonstrated a cool demeanor before a national television audience.
KTTC is
proud to present Jonathan Horowitz as
Member
of the Month for April 2001.
