BTI's Rants and Ramblings: Cawood Ledford was more than UK's Voice

Certainly we all know Cawood Ledford for his 40 years of service calling Kentucky basketball games.  But people may or may not know that Ledford also called many games for CBS Radio, which included Final Fours and Kentucky Colonels games for the ABA.  But for this week's purposes, lets not forget that Ledford also was a yearly announcer for the Kentucky Derby.  I actually found 16 different Derby calls from Cawood, including 3 of Triple Crown winners and spanned 20 years.  So enjoy some of the great calls from outside of Kentucky basketball from Kentucky's greatest announcer: TRIPLE CROWN WINNERS 1973-Secretariat [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1973-Derby.mp3"][/audio] 1977-Seattle Slew [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1977-Derby.mp3"][/audio] 1978-Affirmed [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1978-Derby.mp3"][/audio] OTHER DERBY RACES 1961-Carry Back [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1961-Derby.mp3"][/audio] 1964-Northern Dancer [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1964-Derby.mp3"][/audio] 1965-Lucky Debonair [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1965-Derby.mp3"][/audio] 1966-Kauai King [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1966-Derby.mp3"][/audio] 1967-Proud Clarion [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1967-Derby.mp3"][/audio] 1969-Majestic Prince [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1968-Derby.mp3"][/audio] 1970-Dust Commander [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1970-Derby.mp3"][/audio] 1972-Riva Ridge [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1972-Derby.mp3"][/audio] 1974-Cannonade [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1974-Derby.mp3"][/audio] 1975-Foolish Pleasure [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1975-Derby.mp3"][/audio] 1976-Bold Forbes [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1976-Derby.mp3"][/audio] 1979-Spectacular Bid [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1979-Derby.mp3"][/audio] 1981-Pleasant Colony [audio mp3="http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cawood-1981-Derby.mp3"][/audio]
