Jack Gallagher

Longtime Dover and Harrington Raceway track announcer Jack Gallagher not at the mic tonight. Probably the first night he's missed in decades.

Has to be terribly ill to miss a night.

In 40 years, I dont think but maybe  twice that  I was at the track or watching on internet that he wasn't the announcer that night.

The old announcer from Rosecroft before Witherite took over is calling tonight. Jack is 82 and hasn't been sounding very well for a while, troubling keeping up.

Many years ago I had one in at the Meadowlands and Jack went along and boy did he fire away back then.

My brother was a Letter Carrier in New Castle, DE from the early 1990's until 2009. One of the routes he had for a few years, Jack lived on and still does, and he always liked to bet.

Jack is known as "the iron man"

I cannot recall him missing a day of work

my prediction is when Jack calls it quits that James (Witherite) will take over Dover/Harrington and be the next " Mr. Route 13"

I hope not. (He is a good caller if he'd just announce the race). I don't think I could take him for 11 months a year!

I like James but he talks too much. Can get on your nerves after a while.

James likes to show off his vocabulary but it doesn't work with everyday people.

yes-you both are correct

James is way too intelligent and his vocabulary is way above the heads of 95% of harness fans
