But I admire how all you guys prepare, and how you put so much work into a less than 2 minute call.

Thank you. I have seen some great callers who never color in the silks. It is all individual. I learned from guys who had to do pre race and post race stuff, often at times when there were still a lot of tech problems with live television - so it was often emphasized to me to have plenty on reserve in case something went wrong. 90% of it never gets used though!
Context is everything for sure. It is very different calling say a $3,200 Claimer over five furlongs for non winners of 3 lifetime than a six figure QH race over 250 yards than the 4 mile plus Virginia Gold Cup where they jump fences and go through a lake!
