He never even mentioned Achill Hill...... sorry, Achill Island under after they had crossed the line again. Even though the horse was only beaten by a head. It was all Nownownow. "Nownownow looks like he's joined in at the quarter pole" even though Achill Island was in front at that point.
Having said that when i was at Santa Anita for the Big 'Cap this year i thought the calls of all the races were very good (i assume it was him).
If we are talking about bad race callers, who is the guy who calls at Turfway? Not only is he very annoying, but he only seems to speak every five to ten seconds. "and they're off" long pause "(horses name) takes the lead" long pause "oh, and there goes (horses name) right by" long pause..............
I used to enjoy the calls from Bay Meddows. Who used to call there?

I believe you are referring to Tony Calo and I agree.
