was ther a time when roger was a good announcer the answer is no all he does is
SCREAM

[ROGER H FAN]

I’m a big Roger fan. Grew up listening and mimicking him. Has he said an eighth of a mile to go in O-HI-O yet this week? That one always tingles the spine.

It's a coin toss who I dislike more in standardbred racing.This guy or the wig wearing guy Drucker at Yonkers. I can listen to Drucker for about ten seconds and I switch over to Gilligan's island or Hogan's Heroes instead.

I totally understand, when him and one of his guests talk about horses,,,,,and then the greatest,,, (another franks corner selection ?) should the 3-5 he touts wins,,NOT getting any new viewers ! He does ALWAYS give you the programs for free should you see him walking around,,

 While he may have lost a step with age, he is still the greatest announcer the sport of Harness racing has ever heard.

He is the voice

Maybe a wonderful person and good ambassador, I've just never cared for his style or frankly been impressed by the quality of his calls. Once paid close attention to the Meadows in the 90s and didn't care for calls then. Recognize he's getting on and everyone slips a little with age.  Don't really watch or listen much anymore.

I'm of the school that race callers like refs and umpires should be secondary to the sport. It's the same reason I don't care for Lederman.

Does anyone recall the name of the announcer that Saratoga Harness had for a brief run in the late 80s or early 90s. It was before sardella (who I think does a very nice job). Someone claimed to me, the gentleman who's name I can't recall,  had been an  auctioneer before trying his hand at race calling. Whoever this dude was, he was the worst I've ever heard. Every card had a handful of races that was a mix and match of miscalls. He only had a short run and the track presumably recognized  how bad he was and disappeared.
