I still remember when I started playing the ponies in 1983 some of the announcers.
Of course Marshall Cassidy at NYRA, “Bullet” Bob Meyer at Yonkers, Jack E. Lee at Roosevelt and Howard Oil at Monticello (the only announcer on this list who is still calling races.) Then on Tuesday’s NYC OTB would get the out-of-town tracks:
Ross Morton at Finger Lakes/Gulfstream (probably the most distinct voice of all the announcers)
Tom Durkin at Hialeah
Bob Savage at Calder (one of the most laid back announcers. Too bad I cannot find one of his calls on YouTube)
Dick Woolley at Bowie/Laurel/Pimlico
Jack Lamar at Keystone (Your horse ALWAYS got at least three or four calls and an announcer who would try to call dead heats lol).
