I enjoyed his call in the Mile. Mentioning Zenyatta 15 times during the classic was a bit overboard, IMO.

But he was also playing to a cheering crowd that was reacting every time he mentioned her..

There were many more people watching on TV than at the track. Here is another question though. I seldom pay attention to the track announcer when at live racing (or even at the OTB) because I am concentrating on watching the race, am I the only one?

I only wish I could have blocked out the Arrr call at Saratoga a few years ago.

He did a nice job, but then again I really don't pay a whole lot of attention to a race caller.

Once they hit the top of the stretch you couldn't tell whether there was an announcer or not in the Classic.

I particularly enjoyed "California Fag."

You could hear him? I didn't hear him all weekend. The sound system near my seats sucked.

I could hear Collmus say "There off" on the undercard and that was about it.

I felt like I was at old school Keeneland.

Same here. I didn't hear any of the call for the Classic, and little more of the previous races.

I thought he was pretty awful in the Classic, but did well otherwise.

I thought he was fine, except the Classic might be the single worst race call this side of Bobby Flay's call at Saratoga.
