He isnt driving a tractor between races, nor is he shooting buckshot at the other horses when they are running against Rosario, he is trying to relay (especially to people who are at the track who mostly have their views obscured while the race is being run) what he interprets is going on during a race.

I actually agree with this and see it as no worse than Churchill having Mark Johnson as their on-air handicapper and announcer.
