Durkin
John G

the best 2 in the game

Denman, and Stauffer battle for 3rd and 4th. Somewhere in between is Dave Johnson

Then below that is Luke K, Hoover at Keenland, Larry Colmus, Michael Wrona, Tony Calo

No argument here...aside from his annoying voice and cadence, he is another horrible reactor...horses rally passed other horses to the front before he even mentions them....

this isnt accurate. horses put others away by 7 or 8 lengths before Battaglia even mentions that the one doing the passing is rallying or "launching a bid" as Durkin would say

1-tom durkin -when its on the line for a big one no one better, becomes disintrested at lower races, but understandably so after you call so many
2-john dooley- underated-always makes the race call sound like its important at all points of the race to keep the tension high,makes every race call sound important from a 5000 claim to a stakes,
3-vic stauffer-has some of the better calls at the finish of races, but during a race sounds like the average person calling a race by sound of voice but very detailed and accurate in his calls.and he makes you feel like hes one of us
4-michel wrona-best announcer to me with a english-irish-australian- accent, accurate calls, keeps you intrested thru the whole race
5-trevor denmen- i could have put him in 3rd just as easily as here, great race caller but wrona gets the nod by a slight edge
6-luke kruytbosch-this guy has a voice that was ment to call races, sounds exactly what you would expect a race caller to sound like with the tone of his voice, unique and very good voice, but can sound repetitive at times
7-dave rodman- great caller also
8-richard grunder- underated this guy needs to be on a bigger circut


worst
1-mike battaglia-it cant get no worse, i cant believe they let him call kentucky derbys at one time, but im sure a very nice man and respected inthe industry just not calling races
2-tony calo - the beginning of his calls make me just shutter, the worst and the rest of the call is average at best

just my opinion
