He is 20 years past his prime. The Meadowlands should hire the guy from Northfield. Or listen to the guy that calls the Hong Kong races. He is the best current race caller.

Dave Little is the backup announcer and next in line for the job.

I second the vote for the Northfield announcer. Young, and does a very good job.

To get anyone decent that means jeffie would have to pay up and that's not going to happen.

I hope im wrong. But he sounds like and looks like an old rummy to me.

On the other hand, maybe they should keep him. He relates to 80% of the ploppers

That was Amazing, I had Bob McClure in that Hambo Race and I can still here that brutal call, also early near the last turn he said, Forbidden Trade was spinning his wheels on the outside , One of my Best Hits Lifetime
