Generally I think Trevor is good but he always seems to go to stock phrases. When he misses, he's very bad.

I like Vic Stauffer, Larry Collmus and Dave Rodman.

I think there might be some logic to this. He seems to do it at the beginning of the race only. Instead of wasting time trying to sort through the whole field in the first two furlongs when they are kinda bunched up, he gives you a snapshot of the break which is to say the first three or four that are on the pace, and the horse who is trailing.
After that I believe he works through the whole field but later in the race they are more strung out and have settled into the racing postions more and the position calls are more important. Battaglia goes through the whole field once and they are already on the far turn.

Despite Grunder sounding a lot like the announcer for the Bullwinlkle show, I kinda like his distinctive calls.
