    Who is your favourite race caller??

    Who is your favourite race caller who isn't calling the harness these days..

    I'm tossing up between Terry Spargo and Brian Markovic..

    I also liked Pete Smith (Adelaide), Terry McAuliffe (Adelaide) and David Fowler (QLD)

    My favourite isn't in Australia anymore but is in NZ - Mark McNamara

    John Hunt from Perth was VERY good. He always conveyed excitement in the race, from a group 1 all the way down to restricted class race in the bush.

    I do not know who the caller is (sounds like Darin Tikeman or something like that) but when you watch the video online of your Auckland Reactor racing in one of his races (that I will try to load here in a minute), you would have to say that guy is a great caller and an exciting caller. Here in the US the best caller is Ken Warkentin at the Meadowlands.

    Hi Neil
    I'd have to agree with you there, being from n.s.w i listened to Mark call a lot of races and he would be one of the best. Our loss is your gain.

    That called was Darren Tyquin was another Australian caller we "borrowed" who was sadly killed in 2009.

    Is there a video of that race peacheymagic? Maybe somebody could post one on here so as we can see and hear that Christian Cullen call as that would be interesting. Also I have seen a Christian Cullen colt here in the States a yearling and oh my goodness what a colt! I do not think that there are many here that were bred, a friend of mind said about 20 to 30 on the ground now coming up yearlings next week I think.

    Have you watched on You Tube "Christian Cullen Story" at the start of part 5 it covers the NZ Cup, Its a shame about his stud career in the US you dont know what you have missed out on I'd take a Cullen over an Art Major or Bettor's Delight
