A lot of people don't like this guy but I always liked Stan Bergsteins calls of the Jug etc. 

Probably a personal thing but he once announced my name as a winner of the weekly dinner at Yonkers contest back in the 70s on the TV show, which is something I knew I would win that week, so I told my parents to watch the show while I was coming back from the track.

After that they didn't give me such a hard time for being a professional handicapper.  I actually took them to the track one time, and it was one of nights Tarport Hap went against Silk Stockings and Golden Fulla in the NY sires stakes.  The girls won of course and we all cashed the exacta.

Right now I don't have a favorite.  Used to like Gary Seibel, Sam McKee, John Hernan, Ken Middleton and Ayres.  All gone now.
Ken Middleton is back.

Although he has already passed I agree it was Jack E Lee on the harness side.
I know I will get a lot of grief over my pick for the TB side but I really liked Marshall Cassidy back in the day.
Here comes the grief- Marshall was accurate, but SO boring in his presentation. An aristocratic, blue blood delivery, IMHO.

He willingly left Yonkers, but still in the industry and he's the announcer at Ocean Downs.

Sounds like he is having a blast announcing and he is a pretty good handicapper.
