Yes, i agree. I actually like his calls alot. I might be in the minority here, but I was disappointed to see Collmus replace him @ Gulfstream.

I remember his days at Hialeah.. in 1993, calling a race with a horse named "Altmagraenaraguda", after two vain attempts at pronouncing the horse's name, he surrendered during the stretch run: "Here comes the number 4."

also he called a race during an earthquake in cali... you can listen to it here..

famous lines.. "we have a new leader" , "is straight and strong" are sometimes tiresome though
