What is he saying....the track announcer at Evangeline Downs?

Question

Not sure if any of you horse racing fans out there have any idea what the announcer is saying before each race start......?

kinda sounds like this: Feel so la tee ....? Huh...?What........? what the heck is he SAYING

Trevor Denmon catch phrase we all know is: "And Away They Go"

Answer 1

Hahahahaha!  This is funny.  Kmiami - how did you figure that out?  I speak French, but would never have gotten that.  Good question and answer.

Answer 2

He's saying: "ils sont partis."  Since Evangeline Downs is in Louisiana in the heart of that cajun country, he uses the french phrase to start the race.  It's exactly the same as Trevor Denman's phrase... "ils sont partis" translates to english as "they are away."

Apart from the fact that no one in the rest of the country knows what he's saying, I think it's a great unique way to start a race.  It really takes the character of the area and uses it at the start of every race.
