I'm a big believer that great races and great horses make for great race calls. if you guys look at all the calls listed so far, you dont see many on the list that arent premier horses or premier races. that being said, it takes greatness in racecalling to add something to a spectacular performance.
that being said, my top 5 favorite calls
1. Cesario 2004 American Oaks--VJS
2. Smary Jones/Birdstone--Tom Durkin
3. pyrite personal--matt hook cracking himself up in the stretch
4. some 35 to 1 shot at Arlington---"holy sh...." john dooley
5. Captain Condo--Gary Henson
6. far to many others to name
