yep he sucks
-
TOO CLOSE TO CALL!!!! (half length between em)
-
Kenny us an excellent Race Caller, imho.
To each their own.

Agree, he is a total professional. Finish line at Northfield is hard to judge when horses come up the passing lane and others are wide when crossing. I used to call the Giss and complain I was robbed until I realized how much of an illusion the Northfield wire can be.

It truly is Bello.
Kenny is very good, and he calls it like he sees it from the booth.

I think he's OK, have you listened to the rejects at Yonkers, Vernon or Freehold?
-
very good caller

My opinion is the Northfield announcer is fine. The guys rotating through Yonkers are for the most part - awful. Some of them try to make EVERY race sound like the Hambo finals.
The two most consistent announcers (IMHO) are Ken Warkentin at the Meadowlands and Mike Sardella at Saratoga. Both have their own styles and seem to call most every race with the right "pace" (get it?) for that particular race.
At Monticello, Howard Oil calls EVERY race with the same exact way....just changes the horses names. Although one day last winter, Howard said the lead horse had "an insurmountable lead" at the half.......that horse didn't hit the board by the finish...... LOL

Yonkers call are, in my opinion, the worst! Some others might not be the best, but for me, Yonkers is unwatchable. Which is fine, because it's already unbettable! tmbz1

One of the Yonkers announcers sounds as if he is deaf or has a speech impediment.
-
Kenny at Northfield is top-notch tmbz1 tmbz1
Crazy to think otherwise..

Howard Oil's imaginary calls at Yonkers 40+ years ago were outstanding. Unfortunately that was the apex of his career.

Imagine you haven't seen a Monticello race in like 30 years and you happen to watch one today...must be like "holy shit this guy is still announcing?!?"

Better safe than sorry as you don't need the gamblers complaining about another integrity issue in harness racing today!
