slug: sp/callers date: 05/11/03 photog: Ricky Carioti TWP Pimlico Race Track in Pimlico, Md. We spend an afternoon with horse racing chart callers at Pimlico and look at how they perform their job for each race. A chart caller records all information pertaining to each individual horse in each race. Information like times, track position troughout the race, colors that the horse and jockey are wearing and any notes that will help a person who will place a wager on a horse based on the information in the race guides. Shown are Pimlico race track chart callers Keith Feustle, left, and Bill Brasaemle, right, watching horses before the seventh race and recording information Sunday, May 11, 2003 at Pimlico.
