I know Talley was for sure, Matt is the Assistant GM and I've never heard him announce a race anywhere. Gallagher has been the announcer at Harrington for well over 30 years and Matt is around 40 so when did he announce there.?. I know Scott Warren used to annonce at Rosecroft but don't recall him doing it at Harrington .

Agree, never known Matt to announce.  Always been management and does the pre-race handicapping.  Good guy!   tmbz1

I don't know how old you are, but before Jack Gallagher, Fat Jack Talley was the announcer at Harrington for a few years, and he also liked to bet. He owned 2 cheap claimers who ran there, one was Tandy's Spitfire, and whenever he called their races he was preoccupied with where his horse was. One time his horse led most of the way until the very end and he was blantantly cheering it on, when it got passed near the wire there was total silence for the next few minutes, he was a very sore loser.

Before my time, I've only known Jack Gallagher to call the races at Dover and Harrington.

Scott Warren did call the races at Harrington. I have a win tape of him calling. I think it was around 89 or 90. I'd have to replay it to be sure. Jack Talley was gone by then. If Matt ever did, I don't recall. Maybe as a last-minute fill in, maybe.

Must have been in between Talley and Gallagher. I know Jack's been at Dover for 38 years.

Gallagher does a fine job. Just wish he could put a little more enthusiasm in his calls, but I understand it has to get old after 38 years!

He lives in New Castle. My brother used to be his mailman and told me he used to get alot of credit card bills. Speaking of Jack Talley, I was at Harrington one night and Talley was there just betting. He was sitting in one of the boxes in the grandstand and when his horse got nailed at the wire he had a temper tantrum and started kicking around all the chairs in the box.

I suggest you actually call them and ask them to address your concerns about the announcer. Instead of coming here and acting like a lil bitch!...ewwww he called the wrong name again..Who gives a fuk other than the owners maybe. Other than that just turn off the volume!

The first rule you should probably be aware of is that you don’t come for Jack Gallagher. Sure he may call a horse the wrong name but the man is 80 and pretty damn good at his job. Please see how far the complaining gets you 😂😂

JW is good but sometimes he over does it.

Talks a little too much at times.
