He injects some comedy into his calls. He's also dealing with brain cancer at the moment and his prognosis, at first, was very bad. I'm not sure what the situation is now.

I'm very sorry that he has cancer.

I don't mind announcers injecting humor if the humor has something to do with the horses names in the race or something that happened during the race. I do mind announcers forcing lines into a race that have no relevance to the race. Speaking of Bill Cowher and Jeff Fisher in the middle of the second race at Parx was at the very least, distracting.

I didn't hear it, but it has to be the guy that calls Freehold. He does stuff like that all the time.


..and for the record, I don't wager on Freehold. (or Parx)
