I really think Jeff Gilleas should get more calls. He has a pretty sweet 80's style tux he whips out on WV Breeders Classic day.

Pedigree Ann,
It's not just about calling an accurate race, it's also about capturing the moment. Mellow announcers don't do that. To me, listening to Trevor Denman call a race is like listening to Ben Stein with a South African Accent calling a race.

Jeff Gilleas- He actually calls the race sat Chuck-town? I thought he was just the analyst... Maybe his hero is Mike Battaglia lol.

You think Charles Town cares who calls their races? It's definitely Jeff G. That place makes more money than God but they can't afford to give their main man a new tux.
