After Trevor Denman, he was my next favorite. Loved his no nonsense style.

Marshall was one of a kind. He was the first announcer I recall who found no need to continuously talk during a race. It was very unconventional at the time and still is. When he called the big races he was more conventional, but I remember thinking back then he was awful. As time went on I realized how good he really was. He was extremely accurate. After he moved on I realized I missed him very much. During his time, he became the voice of NYRA races.
I met him a few times and liked him quite a bit. Luckily we have some of his calls on the internet and can always have him with us. RIP Marshall. |

I used to love it when a horse would be 10 in front and all Marshall would say is "it's Personal Ensign, in front." Or "Personal Ensign, has the lead". It could be frustrating a little if you didn't know his style cause you wouldn't know how it was unfolding. But if you knew his style, you'd know it was a handy win. I loved his calls of Eaaaaaasy Goer.......Jaaaaaava Gold........PERsonal Ensign.
