This race call was homage to the late Luke k. who used to call races at Churchill Downs , Ellis Park and Turf Paradise. Good job Frank. R.I.P. Luke Kryutbosch.
My first time seeing this and the only way you don't get it is if you don't go to the track. He hit all of their styles. I particularly thought Luke K was the best in the business. Glad to see him give Larry C some love too. To the people that didn't like it, I think if you actually knew the people he was mimicing you would have a greater appreciation for the video. That was pretty special in my opinion.

@dwarflover63 -- grays turn white...roans stay virtually the same. The gray gene causes the horse to turn lighter each year-- getting more and more white hairs until they are white (often with dark flecks -- "flea bitten grey"). Roans have white hairs mixed into a dark colored coat (there are many variations) their legs and heads will stay dark. Spectacular Bid was a grey but the jockey club registers grays and roans under the same color title: gr/r as they are genetically similar
Respond to this video... How many of those people actually go to the track? We need people to come to the races. Watching a video isn't the same thing. Off track betting is what has done the most damage to racing. If people are just going to watch replays or even worse,just bet and never even look at the horses they may as well be animated or robots. Overbreeding has done it's share of hurting horseracing too.Too many young horses running too soon is just a recipe for disaster.
@dwarflover63 Overbreeding? Foal crops are dropping every year. So that's the opposite of what is taking place. Also, young horses raced a lot more in the past than they do now---check out Seabiscuit's record sometime. The spread of gambling that has much lower takeout (casinos) is what hurt horse racing---it used to have no competition, now it has a ton of competition and it can't keep up.
I am from California,involved in racing and am very familiar with Luke, Trevor, Lukas, and yes I know who Rodney Dangerfield is and that one WAS recognizable. I wonder how the owners of the horses in that race appreciated it. I wouldn't have. He could have done it on a replay or something but to do it during a race was unprofessional and inconsiderate.
@dwarflover63 This Video has 195K hits....as a person "involved in racing" you should appreciate anything that brings that much attention to horse racing these days,
What do you do to make a race fun and entertaining ? ? ? And we wonder why racing is in trouble ? The race itself, the horses, the jockeys, the sights, sounds, and scents of a day at the races are what make it exciting .God forbid there is a spill ,some people almost hope for that to make it "exciting" . And by the way, he also mispronounced Luke's last name and considering he is no longer with us and is sadly missed, it is doubly insulting.
@Dmode1001 I stand by my original comment. His impressions were terrible. If they had been good he wouldn't have had to tell you who they were before each one. The only one that was even close was Ed Burgart. Other than that...
@dwarflover63 had this a two-minute race, you would've seen less of his goofiness. But this was a long boring race. What do you do to make a race fun and entertaining???
@dwarflover63 ARE YOU KIDDING? His impressions were DEAD ON! EVERY ONE OF THEM! Get the feeling you're not familiar with most of them by your comment........Jack Buck, Hank Stram, Dangerfield, Lukas, Denman, Luke, this was the most AMAZING call ever heard during the running of a race!
An AMAZING call.....for those who dislike, you obviously don't get it, nor know the announcers he was addressing, because that was EPIC, WOW...........Absolutely fantastic!
Marvellous, simply marvellous. I even recognize a brief imitation of the Turfway track announcer there, and what sounded like a Trevor Denman style of call on the final turn.
That was great. I was at Turf one day when it was announced that Marv Albert was about to call a race. I would have sworn it was really Marv. Hilarious! I miss Frank on TVG.

That's awesome! Long races are a great change of pace...but, holy heck, they can sure be boring as heck as everyone is just loping along until the last 1/2-1/4 or so. A caller like this who can make it entertaining should be worth his weight in gold to the racetrack.
lol yeah i remember this i watched this race at the off track betting and while the race was running i didnt know what the heck was going on. Burgart from Los Al is my favorite track announcer of all time so I was glad he saved that one for last
@samynonthegreen RPULTZ was correct, it was Phil Georgeff, Trevor's impersonation is from 2:47-3:08. Also, while Trevor is from South Africa and now lives in the U.S., he is caucasian and therefore not "African-American" in the accepted use of the phrase. But I agree he is the greatest race caller ever of any background. And does anyone know why Frank Miramahdi stopped doing impersonations this year on his calls on the CA fair circuit?
@RPULTZ69 I know Frank works for TVG, and I enjoy his work there, but he also calls the races on the Northern California fair circuit, and he used to do one of his impersonations during the last race every day. This year, he didn't do that, just did a straight call for the last race, and I was wondering why he stopped the impersonations.
Frank is awsome. He did the voices of the great Joe Hernandez (Santa Anita) and Harry Henson (Hollywood Park) in the film "Seabiscuit." He once called each race on the final day of a Hollywood Park meet using the voice of a different announcer. Does anyone have this to post? I'd love to hear it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
so not funny .....long live luke.....trash the bad call ......fm ..is a joke this is why your on the fair circut...hanging by a thread never to c a major track..
This is awesome. I usually like him also. Sad he didnt do Vic Stauffer, or Tom Durkin...but he did a great job...Alan Buckdawl.....WOWO...that was a blast from the past.
he actually did do Vic i think. At 2:23 he says "you better take a look at so and so, he's sixth now but by the quarter pole he could be first" Vic often will say when a horse is 2nd or 3rd that he "could be the new leader at the quarter pole"
oops, wrong race
