I think Tony is an excellent announcer, but I imagine even he wouldn't take credit for handle increases LOL.

Looks like Tony Calo will be leaving the Finger Lakes role as he takes up the announcing position at Ellis Park in parallel with his role at Turfway Park. Also, he will be involved with the Churchill simulcast broadcasts.

I saw FL is looking for an announcer. $400 per day. It's awesome, Tony will be calling better races. Hard to believe Finger Lakes has only ever had two announcers.

Jimmy McNerney is a jockey's agent, even had Deshawn Parker's book last year. Wishing him the best, and good luck Tony!

Is an A.I. version of Jim McGrath available yet?

Turfway Park presents all sorts of challenges from field sizes, the nature of synthetic racing and a booth that is not high enough to be honest. It truly has tested me to the fullest. Once again, tyvm for all the support. Tony Calo

Wasn't that familiar with you until this year. Played some Turfway Park this year. Love your announcing. You have that old school voice and are one of those announcers that makes the game exciting.

FL goes to Mr. Stabile. I listened to a couple of his calls @ AQU just now, sounds good to me. Congrats to Anthony.

great meet overall at turfway this year, tony's calls were icing on the cake. as others have mentioned his voice is a household favorite - "and there they go"

will miss ya calling finger lakes.

Yep, Stabile is a tremendous "get" for Finger Lakes. Congrats all around!
