I Luv Trevor.
Best racecaller in the USA!!
Admittedly, in the Juvie, I looked at my pal while pointing at SS on our clubhouse TV..."That's us isn't it??"
I did that because Trevor called some horse coming wide. Of course, I was following SS the entire race and saw him 'scraping the paint' .....and eventually steamrolling the field.
Think he called Invasor and BD perfectly in the Classic. Mentioned Bernadini struggling (which he appeared to be on the backside)----I think TD calls it 'being ridden along'.
He consistently sees more of the racetrack than any other caller. Sees horses moving early, sees them looking for room, sees the pace implictions "they couldn't be going any faster", sees horses "on a loose rein", sees horses forced wide, and calls the race as such.
More guys (including Durkin and Dave Johnson) have copied parts of TD's act than any other announcer I have heard (don't they all call the horse by silks and cap---'that's so and so in the white silks with the red cap")....and I have heard plenty. Now Dave Johnson is a racecall that I could use my earmuffs for...lol.
