Default What are The Best Race Calls of All Time?

What are the best race calls of all time. I can't find a good list out there so I thought Derby Trailers would be able to come up with one.

Here's the best race calls I've heard:

1973 Belmont Stakes
1978 Belmont Stakes
2007 Belmont Stakes
1989 Preakness Stakes
2009 Preakness Stakes
2009 Breeders Cup Classic
2001 Breeders Cup Classic
2003 Kentucky Derby
2004 Belmont Stakes

What are the best race calls of all time in your opinion?

I am not a huge Denman fan but the 2009 Breeders Cup Classic was an awesome call.

I always enjoyed the gentle giant,Luke Kruybosch and his calls at Turf Paradise and Churchill Downs. He was a fun and crazy guy.

One more, and not saying it was the best of all time, but I really liked Michael Wrona's
call of the last race ever run at Bay Meadows.

The race was aptly named "The Last Dance."

Wrona's unique call at the break is always "Racing!"

For the Bay Meadows all time finale his break call was "Dancing.."

He then wove commentary of it being the last race ever at the venue with the call of the race.

The call had been on calracing.com for some time, but apparently all the Bay Meadows races have been purged. I know "You Lift Me Up" was the winner of "The Last Dance." The search on her name shows races before the Bay Meadows finale victory available, but "The Last Dance" is apparently gone.

It was a really nice call.
