Title: Bangor Announcer
Post by: whiptherabbit on April 19, 2021, 10:23:12 AM: Who’s announcing at Bangor? I can honestly say that’s the first time in quite awhile I had a good laugh at what an announcer said during a race. Race -#7 yesterday, good job by the man on the mic tmbz1

He used to be the announcer there in the early 90's....he also worked Lewiston many many years ago

He also has a Presiding Judges license.........a nd worked as PJ at Bangor in the early 2000's

He will be leaving soon to work the Vernon NY race meet as PJ

The young man , Wayne Harvey ,who has done Bangor for years has been doing the Wednesday card and will continue to announce at Bangor

Post by: chief yogi on April 23, 2021, 08:39:54 AM: its scarborough north sadly. without the otb. what can go wrong? while downs had to close this has become a slightly different, but still a sewer. i guess what i thought months ago was pretty spot on. commission member too thrilled that downs was closing now has racing at his home fair and get to be a judge too. where is joe ricci when you need him. if he were alive this would be so much more entertaining.
seeing all this im feeling its about 3-5 that there wont be much if any racing there in november and december.

Mike has resigned from the Racing Commission....... ............getti ng a job as judge probably assured Fast Track to get approval of the Cumberland Fair.

Question is..Can an Associate Judge act as middle man in selling horses that race there to the Amish ??

Post by: chief yogi on April 23, 2021, 11:13:13 PM: everything is on the up and up. nothing wrong went on. nothing to see here move right along. sadly done right cumby had a chance especially the way the new england tracks have started so well, but its looking like downs north with a few new people. maybe its just the start up and key people will come on later. hoping for the best.
