Also worth remembering that in Dick Riley's day, the races at the California fairs were not being simulcast. Riley was announcing over the loudspeakers to relatively small crowds of people who were there with their families eating cotton candy and barely cared about the races they were seeing.
I don't think anyone really cared whether the announcer was any good. Certainly Tom Durkin style histrionics would have been completely silly in that situation.
