I love it when he says that such and such a horse is "carrying the familiar colors of" and than proceeds to say the name of an owner or stable that has about four horses, and has never been a well known owner or stable that has been around very long.

Perhaps if Sumwonlovesyou runs at Tampa, he'd say "carrying the familiar colors of the DT Stable."

Ya'll tread lightly on my boy from Tampa...

Vic Stauffer is great, doesn't leave any horses out of his calls, and really gives an exciting stretch call.

[MaTH716]

I think Dooley is as smooth as they come.

[SCUDSBROTHER]

The guy who does the MEADOWS HARNESS.I don't play the races,but that guy is a freak indeed.Named Houston (I think.)

[ManilaRose]

I like Luke for sure. I can't handle Vic at all. Screaming YYYYEEEEESSSSSS!!! at the end of every other race or calling Surf Cat a superstar while beating nothing.

Yet another vote for John Dooley. He and Durkin are the best.
The two worst are without question Vic Stauffer and Mike Battaglia. Of the two I actually think Stauffer bugs me the most. Battaglia has a TERRIBLE voice, but Stauffer is such an outrageous windbag that I can't stand to listen to him.

Dooley has always been good, even back in the day when he called for NYRA. Not everyone likes him, but I enjoy Imbriale too.

"Straight and Strong" Stauffer is HORRENDOUS, his calls have ruined quite a few decent races.

[disappearingdan_akaplaya]

wrona and stauffer both are better than durkin and definately denman in my book. wrona being the tops for me, 1 of my other all time fav's kevin goemmer(rip)

Where in the hell are you watching MEADOWS HARNESS?

As for the answer to this. Dooley is unbelievable. "RUNNING AWAY FROM THE FIELD LIKE A DAUGHTER WITH DADDY'S CREDIT CARD" absolutley one of the greatest lines of all time at a place where it was extremely FITTING.

John G is awesome and I hope he calls Arlington for the rest of my life, he calls the race, and keeps things flowing, while throwing in nice one liners, and makes a mistake one out of 250 calls. He is SOLID.

He was an excellent announcer

I always liked Maryland/Colonial Dave Rodman and Robert Geller Emerald/Sunland both give great calls. The Mike Chamberlain from Sam Houston and Travis Stone give good calls.

[disappearingdan_akaplaya]

steve cross is another 1 whom ive started to like that past year or so, calls the races@hoosier and is the backup announcer for the brutal battaglia

Mena is 15 times better then he was when he rode at Arlington. Going to Ellis/Turfway was a great move by him, really got him more experience.

I would even go on record to say that he could win a title at Arlington as long as Douglas stayed away, he would get business here now, probably 6-7 rides a day

doubtful he comes back, he was riding for some nice outfits already when he left for example bret calhoun

Kimmeastar,
I'm from MPLS, and I hang out at CBY all the time. A lot of guys share the opinion you and your boys do. But I disagree. He calls an accurate race, and like Drukin he puts proper motion into it. I hate these monotoned guys that call races (except in the case of Battaglia. Shut him up all together lol).

[pmayjr]

BTW,
No votes for Battaglia? Where's the love people?

[onebadbeast]

Trevor Denman Of Course. But The Guy Who Used To Call Cal Expo Harness Was The Best Ever.! Also Chick Hearn, Cannot Listen To Another Laker Game Without Him.

[pdrift1]

john dooley without a doubt!!!!!!!!!!!
