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!

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.
