Magna too then.... Right? And you realize that the only reason NYRA asked John to step in was because Magna reached up to NYRA's backup announcer (Larry Collmus) to REPLACE Stauffer.. I'd rethink your line of reasoning..

I didn't say he was a bad guy, I just don't care for his skills as an announcer, I think he is as bland and his calls are as monotone and nondescript as they come.

J,

That's a fair criticism I think.. He is bland, but I felt that there's been a certain 'spring' in his voice that had been absent for a long time... And you're right about him being a nice guy...

Monotone is a great way to describe John Imbriale. Technically hes okay but sometimes it downright depressing hearing his voice. Its o tranquil, almost like a psychiatrist.

But I agree with Da Hoss, hearing John Imbriale brings me back to the 90's when horse racing was filled with so many great horses and storylines.

If you want to talk monotone, no one is worse than Battaglia.... I can't stand the cadence he uses to call a race.

I like hearing Imbriale back. I miss him even more on the wrap-up show...those two kids are getting better, but still have a ways to go...

I prefer the 2 kids (Eric Donovan & Jason Blewitt) to Imbriale. Maybe because they are closer to my age and are a little bit more outgoing and funny.

Mike Battaglia is brutal in every way. Imbriale is much more appealing than him. So glad Battaglia is in KY and not NY. I think I would have to give up racing if I had to hear that voice every day.
