John has been the second stinger in New York for so long that the fans are thinking Ladies Day at Aqueduct rather than prime time at the Spa. His calls are very generic and have little personality and no story line to them. I made the trip to Saratoga during Durkin's final season, just for the purpose of being there to here him call the races his last year. He did set the bar high, and will always be the guy by whom all other race-callers in New York, and maybe Florida, are compared.
Imbriale is not who I want to hear at Saratoga. Poor John was unable to incorporate running through the "Summer Shower" under the ensuing rainbow on Thursday.
Maybe one day a week, but not as the main guy. Certainly New York racing can do better.
