Saul at Pocono
Who is Saul. The long time announcer at Pocono Downs is Jim Beglivia and he’s pretty good.o

George Anthony is actually good compared to John Horne and Roger Houston!

I was in Saratoga last week for the sires stakes races and was very thankful for George Anthony calling the races.  At least we got to listen to a clone of the late Jack E. Lee!
I agree. George Anthony is one of the most colorful and announcers. Here is a man who was a NYC cop. Started announcing at Ocean Downs. Then became of very successful trainer on the NY circuit and won at the Meadowlands. He know owns thoroughbreds utilizing Mike Miceli as his trainer. I really like hearing George at Yonkers and Saratoga plus he is a really nice guy. He always liked talking to the fans.

Was at Saratoga for sires stakes last Sunday at Saratoga.
Did a good call of the race I was in.
When he did the after race commentary at pocono years ago, he had a fun and intuitive side to him when my horse won a race there.
