Race callers use the silks, not the saddle cloths. I use the colored cloth only in an absolute pinch, but more frequently use my marker colored silks on my program in the "brain cramp" moments of a call.
Race calling is tough... it's like music. Some people like a certain genre and hate others and visa-versa.

Very interesting. So I do have a question if you dont mind. Some tracks (like Mountaineer) have what we call "house silks" for the horses and we do not use our own personal silks there. Is this harder or easier or make no difference.
