You guys don't know bupkis! Scott Ehrlich is a cinch to be in the Top 2. I mean he has all the skills, plus everyone at the track loved the mensch at both Maywood and Balmoral. He's been a success everywhere he goes. To be not ranked higher would be a shanda.

Kurt Bexker and it’s not even close.  There is a reason he was hired as first announcer in Keenland history as well as does Kentucky Derby on relaxin side as well as NASCAR and Barrett Jackson car show.  Dude is major talent.

I'm biased because I'm friends with Pete, but I'm still putting him up top. Gil was overrated because IMO he had the best meets and horses but made tons of mistakes.
#1 = Pete
#2 = Tony Salvaro
#3 = Phil Georgeff

Lapped on p/u dnf = Scott Earache...and that's not even close! Total bore; every call the same droning nonsense.

Gil Levine. Claaaancy, ohhhh Claaaancy. Read poetry when horses went back to the paddock for shoe changes. Got his mojo working. Always enjoyed Gil.

Tony Salvaro. Had a great voice and rhythm for race calling.

Phil Georgeff. Chicago legend.

GIL LEVINE WAS PROBABLY THE WORST MOST INACCURATE ANNOUNCER IN CHICAGO HARNESS RACING HISTORY. NOBODY LIKED THE GUY BECAUSE HE WAS JUST A FLAT OUT ANNOYING PERSON TO LISTEN TO. MUCH LIKE ROGER HUSTON. TERRIBLE AT HIS JOB

When Joe Mazzone took over for Gil at Sportsmans Park in 1996, he told me Gil made a "sure thing" bet on Jenna's Beach Boy in the American-National. When Fahy ran him off his feet in the turn and ended  up 8th he thought Gil might eat his own gun  ngc3
Anderson and Falcons Dakota won that night, just beating Stand Forever.
Gil always did love betting chalks.
