Jesus Christ, I was watching Race 6 at The Meadows and he says "Welcome Home" as Spitfire Oversees wins by open lengths. Oversees and he in his "Dumb as a Rock" voice thinks it's overseas.
And then to remove all doubt about he needs to retire. He still pronounces FR at the end of the French horse. Hey dumbass, the FR is silent like the N and the A and all the other alphabetical letters after a horse's name.

Sorry about your luck, I know the feeling. Give it up MOUTH. tmbz1

Roger should have retired decades ago and been replaced at the Little Brown Jug. He's nothing but a screaming blowhard.
-
He should be muzzled, permanently banned from all race tracks and fairs including and most importantly Delaware.

Agreed, his calls get worse every year. The thing is Delaware will let him call races there as long as he wants to. I have no idea who will eventually replace him. The backup announcer was Sam McKee.. RIP.. now it's Settlemoir. Maybe Barry Vicroy who calls at Scioto, Dayton and Miami Valley. He isn't horrible, but not the greatest either. He seems disinterested lots of the time, although his call of Always B Miki vs Wiggle It Jiggleit was pretty good.

He's well past his prime, not attentive and responsive, but he'll keep going as long he wants to. It sounds like he still wants to, LOL. He is more working based upon his legacy and past.

He could at least wipe the drool off his mouth. Satan gonna jam a pitchfork up his ass soon to call races in Hell and take his tacky gold rings.

Roger Huston has done more for harness racing than anyone especially all of this board combined.

If you don'e believe that, just ask him. ;D

What has he done for harness racing other than hang around too long and scream like a crazed lunatic?

He promotes harness racing 24/7/365.

I know dozens of big bettors who have quit going to their simulcast outlets for the sole reason of having to listen to that ass hole big mouth , trust me , he has drove thousands away

No doubt he's an ambassador for the sport. Whether you think he's a good one or not is up to you. But, the guy lives and breathes the sport. Without question.

Did you ever meet him in person?
He's a smug, rude, nasty mofo.

Back in the 80's he did a remote broadcast from the Turf Club in Upper Darby, PA just outside of Philly with his co-host and actually announced the live races off the TV monitor. Some people came up to him between races and asked for his autograph, and he acted like they weren't even there and ignored them.

does that give him a free pass to inaccurately scream his race calls for over 50 years?

I guess it gives him a free pass to perform his job as he sees fit, best he can, whatever. I think it also gives everyone the right to like his work or not; as far as like him personally, to each their own.....and I am guessing the only ones who can hold him and his work accountable are his employer(s). JMO.

The majority of the people on the non-racing side of his employer think he’s a sour dickhead. 40 years ago he couldn’t correctly pronounce a horse’s name with more than four letters. I guess he failed 3rd grade spelling. He has the brain of a grape.

I've met him on more then one occasion in Delaware. He would come up to the grandstand and schmooze with the ultra wealthy owners. He is extremely arrogant and thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread.I could tolerate him 20 or 30 years ago but he is just WAY past his shelf life. I remember when I was a kid, maybe 10 years old I said to my Grandpa, look there is Roger Huston, the guy that calls the races. My Grandfather said yeah that's him. After Roger walked away from kissing the ass of the owners in the box in front of us, I'll never forget my Grandfather saying " I can't stand that son of a bitch." As I got older I understood why. My grandfather was in the game from the sixties until the day he passed away in 2010.

Exactly, he always acted like he was sitting on a spiked dildo. I figured he was trolling for alternative lifestyle men with the 10 gold rings.

asked for his autograph

You got his autograph after he left his diamond pinky ring in your asshole. Fudge Packer.

Ouch The Big Bird with only 18 posts comes out swinging. ;D

NEVER MET THE MAN
SORRY TO READ HE IS SUCH A DOUCHE BAG

It's all about his ego. He thinks just because he's been around forever and knows everybody, it gives him the right to treat everyday people like they're nobodies.
