Race Announcers
Quote from pcmark15 on April 23, 2025, 10:43 PMNever have been a fan of his race calls or interviews. Don't quote me on this but I thought I saw somewhere that he recently interviewed Amac for one of those Freshman Focus episodes.

Quote from Bgtolex25 on April 24, 2025, 6:57 AMWe all lose our fastball. Â He would be fine calling 5 horse entries at a county fair. Â In his prime he was really good, although I understand some never liked his style. Â But when you canât keep track of the horses in multiple stages of the mile and the eventual winner getting one call (@ the wire), it is time.
Lonnie et al heard me complain at last yearâs Jug. Â It should be a showcase day for the sport, and we should have a great announcer doing the calls. Â
Apologies for the rant.

Quote from Purple Aura on April 25, 2025, 11:02 PMLooks like I blasted Roger in the wrong thread. As far as race calls go these days hearing him clear his throat in the middle of a race call is gross and sad. It's time the industry thanked him for his services and moved his ass along.Â

Quote from Bgtolex25 on May 1, 2025, 9:54 PMTo be fair, I love Roger on the OHHA Freshman Focus series. Â He asks probing questions and I always come away knowing more about the trainer. Â Roger can be such an asset for the industry in his golden years if he chooses the proper path. Â I think that I referenced it once months ago, but my first memory of Roger was at the 1973 Wilmington, Ohio Matinee when my uncleâs 2 year old filly, Fair Honey, recovered from an early miscue to circle the field in a final quarter of â30 seconds flatâ. Â Roger made it sound like a Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali moment. Â I still get chills remembering the call.

Quote from Bgtolex25 on May 14, 2025, 6:08 PMKen Middleton was (is) a favorite. Â I hope that he comes back. Â I never will understand the lack of transparency, if that is the case. Â Sometimes, we just miss the announcement. Â Other times, PR people should be fired for incompetence.
