Any guesses? As long as it’s not The self proclaimed King or Stabile I’m good with it.

If you can pull Tom Durkin away from those fancy bars in Saratoga Springs he would be great.

Alcohol has been an issue for him sadly.

whoever is the worst. Looks like they want the racing to go away. Doing a good job so far.

Last night he couldn't tell white from yellow. Called a 3 horse on the lead until past the quarter. The 3 was fourth. Called the 6 horse 4th. He was on the lead. Same race obviously. Kept calling out Daniel Dube loudly and with a weird accentuation on his name.

i doubt Mr. Witherite would drive 3 hours one way to take a job at a dump.

The industry has shunned James for no reason whatsoever, mindboggling.

Is anyone actively campaigning for the job could be a better question??

I wish Marty Glickman was still around so he could apply. Don’t know Marty? Look him up.

i was always curious, what do you think track announcers get paid at the major tracks like Yonkers, Meadowlands etc.  ?

I once heard that Jack Lee in the 80s was making around 100k between RR and an occasioanal wrestling show at the garden.
