chart caller

The chartcallers' routine goes something like this: When the horses come onto the track, chartcallers jot down equipment information -- which runners are wearing blinkers, bandages on their forelegs, special horse shoes. While this is going on, they memorize and match the color of each jockey's silks to his mount's name. Or, as is the case with Feustle and most newer chartcallers, the number on the saddle cloth.

2003 May 16, John Scheinman, “Chartcallers, Setting the Track Record”, in The Washington Post, Washington, D.C.: The Washington Post Company, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2023-08-18:

When Jim Bishop was an Equibase chartcaller himself several seasons back, he would sometimes stray from the pre-programmed database comments and get creative with his past performance charts. For sorry horses such as Regal Bishop, he liked to utilize his favorite selfcoined disparity: Appeared to dislike racing.

2007, T. D. Thornton, Not by a Long Shot: A Season at a Hard Luck Horse Track, New York, N.Y.: PublicAffairs, →ISBN, page 42:

The technology has been sufficiently accurate that Equibase has changed its method of charting races at tracks using the system. Historically, the details of every race have been gathered by a chart-caller who watches the action through binoculars and calls out numbers to a partner. Now Trakus produces the charts, though the data still requires oversight and tweaking by Equibase personnel.

Another, Jamie Zoeller, was a Pavement superfan. He met Nastanovich at a bar in Chicago in the '90s, and Nastanovich told him about his Derby house. Nastanovich (now a chart caller at Prairie Meadows racetrack in Altoona, Iowa) wrote down the address on a bar napkin, and Zoeller carried it around in his wallet until one day he made it, in 1999.

Trenner Joseph sen. & jun., Turners and Makers of agriot pipe-sticks.

1862, Joseph Arenstein, Austria at the International Exhibition of 1862, page 45:

Comparing those plants grown in large and in samll vessels, the agriot yielded a larger amount of leaf and dry substance when grown in small vessels, whereas with the sweet cherry the reverse was the case. When grown in dilute solutions the agriot caused the evaporation through its leaves of twice as much water, and the sweet cherry under the same conditions of a third more water, than when the solutions were more concentrated.

1881, P. Sorauer, “Manuring Experiments on Fruit Trees”, in Journal of the Chemical Society, volume 40, page 936:
