Roger Houston

[Ramnap]

Name someone that wants to call races but can't because Roger is hogging all the work?

[Bitter Truth]

Speaks to harness racing in general 'NOT' the quality of his calls.

Roger is better than Barry Vicroy 

[Grandstand Handicapper]

Obviously, he's much older, well beyond his prime (whether you think he had one or not), and whether you like him or not (his race calls), the man is a legend in the sport. I am sure plenty of people never liked his race calls, but he's still a legend. Period.

Whether it is Trump or Biden as the next President both will be in their 80s during their term. That’s ok but Roger at 81 is too old to call a dumb harness race? Listen I have never been a fan of Roger’s style but let’s have a little respect for those who are functioning quite well in their 80s nowadays.

Inaccurate screaming for 50 years makes him a legend?

I once owned VHS tapes from the Little Brown Jug from decades ago--he was just as horrible then as now

That is a fact, butchering calls is nothing new. Listen to the Jugette calls too. He is a JOKE, stop the sentimental bull shit. If he loved the game as much as he says he does, he'd step aside. Let him call fairs all summer. He needs to turn the mike over to someone else. Do it graciously. NOT like the egotisticai asshole he is.

Perfectly stated.

[jupiter]

Totally agree, he's ruining Delaware too.

[Hambletonian46]

Fuck Roger Huston. Unlistenable hack, legend in his own mind. As far as I can tell, he went from super obnoxious and somewhat competent to an incompetent screaming caricature of his prior self.

  Barry is actually a good caller. His calls are accurate. But here lately he has not been so entertaining so to speak. Rumor is that he gets on Pornhub between races.

Is that a problem?

[Ramnap]

You guys are funny, harness racing is headed for the shitter and it sure ain't because of Roger. All the drugs, abuse, corruption from the breeders, racing commissions,  vets etc... is why. And after all that garbage nobody wants to watch the same driver/trainer dominate every long drawn out race card week after week.

[jupiter]

That is exactly what he did, Dave Palone, and himself!!! He is and will always be a egotistical jerk. If you ever had a conversation with him you'dknow. He ruined the meadows.
