Tioga Downs Sunday
« on: May 20, 2018, 03:10:47 PM »
Somebody please get this announcer an oxygen mask, horrible race caller and heavy breather. Only guy worse than him is Wayne Rice at Buffalo. Buffalo listeners, have you ever noticed a caller get a boner more than this strunts when Maria Rice wins a race. Possibly the worst announcer in the History of bad announcers, ok ok Palone and Houston.

YES. Howard Oil is the same way when Bruce Aldrich wins multiple races.  To think, Robin Burns was a free agent until a week ago.

Actually heard the Buffalo guy talking to a few fans at Batavia, acts like he's important, popular and good at calling. Im certain i could call a better horserace. Makes sense about his old lady, gets all jacked up when a rice horse is in. I wonder if the other trainers in the race want to bop him in his odd ball head. Then i see him on the tv and the guy has dracula fangs. Give me the guy at Yonkers or Joe at Batavia. Best 2 callers in the state by far.

THATS A TOTAL JOKE
Welp if Gural gave the right guy an offer to run racing there they'd have a chance but Gabe is going to serve as just another voice at the Big M.  It's not like he took Pompano from handling 100k nightly to a place where the Sunday pick 4 is a must bet because of pool size.

I used to enjoy Robin's calls at Freestate and Rosecroft , in the 80's..........he also was an Assistant Race Secretary in California  almost 40 years ago.
He used to tell this story on himself.

 " A couple of young driver /trainers from Ontario, made their way out West to race at Hollywood Park.
One week into the meet, I looked over these new guys......and made some evaluations.....i dentifying one youngster as wasting his time in the business......... .he does't have it.      The kids name......John Campbell "

Is he announcing again...??? where ?
