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

Speaking of Arlington, I loved the call of John Henry'a win in The Arlington Million.
