He announced baseball, going to also work in race office. Must be a cheap hire.

wonder why they didnt reach out to The Voice as a fill in ?

The fact that they didn't "reach out"...is a point in Tiogas favor
Lets give Shades a chance to get familiar with a tough task...learning to call races
It looks like he brings some enthusiasm to the job, and a willingness to learn about the business.
His new position might prompt media in Binghampton , who knew him from baseball, to follow him and do a story or two on him and Tioga.
His background and contacts might bring a few new customers to Tioga.
Those who are quick to criticize ….should ask Tioga management if they can come to Tioga some day and call a few qualifiers. Their attitude will change in a hurry.
Lets support Shades ( who I have never met) with constructive ideas , and patience !
Good Luck Shades

Shades 11.dt. How we looking? Not good 8)
-
MY GOD THIS GUY SUCKS !
-
Good luck to new guy..
BUT
If you'd like a longtime fan of harness game who used to work in radio...I could easily call the races off a laptop sitting in my place. Mr Gural could get me cheap..little overhead
(calling the action in my underwear from Toronto, chomping on treats and pop, and gambling on the races) you could tell by voice inflection who I have.

Howard Oil fills in and he's more obnoxious than The Voice.

New guy not bad. Give him a monts and he’ll loosen up. That Risi guy is like fingernails on a chalk board. Thank God for the mute...

Risi is annoying
-
Agree, Risi needs to put a sock in it. New guy, not so good. needs 2 years of practice

I agree. A pretty nice first effort. The races I watched, he got the horses names right, and later on the card "picked up" horses making a move from the back of the pack...and then he went quickly back to the contending horses entering the stretch. His voice tone was consistent...not yelling to make a point
He was good at watching the teletimer and giving us the times at 1/4 1/2 and 3/4...…..which helped because the timer colors on my screen were tough to read.
Good first try Shades.....your style will develop over time....don't rush it....just call the races like you did Sunday
-
I always liked Shades when he gave his prerace analysis at Tampa Bay Downs, I wondeted where he was at Good luck, Shades.

Give SHADES a chance. We FLATS know him as analylist. Young kid. And he known as you all say by SHADES also. He tries and he first time doin. It a small track and one needs to start somewhere. Surprized it not at FLATS track but that GIG is tough to get.
I knows BILLY DOWN"S JR. He a good friend and caller at INDIANA GRAND. Known him since he in college at MARQUETTE. Obviously knew him thru his dad,who was my great friend at track for 25 years. BILL started small. ARAPAHO,then BEULAH,ELLIS,with a few stand ins at CHURCHILL. Then he got gig at INDIANA. Not bad since it a 8 month meet. Great handicapper too I might add. He been to NTRA finals at least 8 times.
ME point is: SHADES just startin. Give the kid a chance. YA gotta start somewhere. He got ENTHUSIAZM. BILLY JR. had the BEAULAH TWINS at one point. That could definatly be a distraction. He concentrated on callin.
HOPES you do well SHADES. GOOD LUCK. YOU CAN DO IT!.
-
Can someone please shut up this Risi kid ? He may be the most annoying track analyst Ive ever heard! (other than the lady at mohawk) The new track racecaller isnt bad at all. He does sound a little like Steve Buscemi.
-
Again Risi blows but hey Shades, take the shades off and watch the fukn race. Calls race 5 as the 5 the winner. I have a $10 dd going paying $113 for $1 sure enough kiss of death, he actually gets beat by the 8, makes me want to strangle the little bitch. Dear Tioga, find a real announcer!
-
Cannot bet the pick 3's or 4's at this place. Payouts are disgusting!
-

Book sales in da shitter.......... .............nobo dy wants to HEAR the Mouth............ .............NOBO DY wants the MOUTH around........... .........and more importantly the MOUTH has priced himself out of business......... ...took so much............a nd NEVER gave anything back............. pay back is a bitch............ ...Silence is Golden........... ........
-
But, on the other hand, Tioga hit a record handle Sunday, but only $369k or so. 4 pm post time helps then.
-
True, nice handle, i just cant figure out the horrible pick prices and the announcers suck.All you can bet is ex and tri. on another note Roger is so outdated. Just needs to give it up
-
shades doing good
-
Handle at Tioga is always a joke. I remember last year on a Sunday where Chesters overnight rats with PAs horrible takeout outperformed the Graduate Series card at Tioga with their handle.
