Sadly
Johnny I is fine for Aqueduct, but that's about it
Really not cutting it
other recent great announcers include Dan Loiselle at Woodbine (very badly missed), Peter Berry at Mountaineer, and nice to hear Trevor at Del Mar yesterday, he sounds like he's not well, too bad, but that voice
the recent rise of Colonial handle can at least be partly attributed to the great job their announcing team is doing to be sure
I love Jess and Jason at Colonial, that's always a must watch start to finish, if announcers are important, there's a great example - they make TVG completely non relevant while they are on the air (much as the great Mark Patterson of course also does at the Mountain), and perhaps this is the future of horse racing TV, individual channels per track livestreamed
and the production at ASD has helped their turnover, regardless of the quality of the racing being unbelievably laughable
NYRA Live does a nice job to be sure, always appreciated - it's easy to laugh at Andy's silly picks (like that no chance Joseph O'Brien horse in the 1st at Saratoga yesterday, no way that horse would have the necessary speed to compete) but is that really useful "expertise" one has to ask or just a distraction - you don't get that at Colonial or the Mountain
