Just a matter of taste, I guess.
I wish him well and hope he has something good lined up (and Vic too, while we're on the subject).

I don't think he called a bad race necessarily, he was just the king of wildly superfluous information. Who cares if it is Lanerie's 43rd win of the meet? Or Borel's 3rd Bashford Manor? Or anything of the sort. Fort Larned turning hand springs? He said some really random things at times.
He also was on the mic incessantly. There's no need for an announcer to get on the mic with 3-4 minutes to post and commentate as the field goes to the gate. I know that's quite a bit more popular with international racing, but those few moments here have always been quiet and I like it that way.
