He is the worst and the ONLY announcer I cant listen to.  In the wrong profession.

He is horrible. For some reason when the regular announcer at a few area tracks isn't there, he's their go to fill in guy. He called at Tioga for a while before being exiled to Vernon where nobody watches.

He makes current day Roger Huston sound good.

Roger is undoubtedly one of the best to ever do it! Father time catches everyone

I disagree about Roger being one of the best ever to do it, but that's just my opinion, and I've listened to him for over 50 years. How about the loudest ever to do it with the most rings on his fingers.

Totally agree .  If he's on the mic . I turn it off.  Same as Stabile when he calls Yonkers.   I was a fan of Finger Lakes until they hired him.   He sounds drunk most of the time.  Both shout and it's annoying

For alot of years when Roger was announcing at The Meadows, he was calling the races from inside a studio instead of above the grandstand where most guys do.

Roger is a pompous ass whose skills have declined significantly.
As bad as John Horne is- and he is dreadful- he began his career with no race calling experience, and I hoped against hope he would improve. Just hasn’t happened.

At least when there was dog racing, a race only lasted 30 seconds - so there was only time to call out numbers with no comments.....LOL 73cv.2

As far as I know, the only dog track in the US still running is Wheeling Downs in West Virginia.

At any track if I made a bet and my horse is not in contention, I'll mute the announcer no matter who it is.
