I recall visits to Hialeah in 2001 or thereabouts when Frank Mirahmadi was their racecaller. Several times during the afternoon he would announce that the next race would be as if it were called by the person whose impression he was giving. He would then call the entire race in that style. His impressions were very good - if you liked "here they come spinning out of the turn", or "down the stretch they come" or "they will have to sprout wings to catch her".
He has toned down his act since then. I once heard an interview in which he said that he respected the racing at Santa Anita and Saratoga far too much to engage in those imitations in his current assignments.
I think his racecalling at the Spa has been very good.
