Title: John Imbriale
Post by: MO on January 17, 2005, 05:58:59 PM
Can someone enlighten me as to the John Imbriale story on the DRF website? I refuse to pay money to Crist to read one article.

He will be retiring in the middle of February.  The race caller from Suffolk will become Durkin\'s backup.

Thanks. I worked with John for 5 years. Good guy. Timing seems perfect given the circumstances. Larry is a good guy as well and the logical choice. Best of luck Larry.

And Steve, get a haircut and visit a tailor............it\'s all about image, you know.....

Crist only spends money on gambling and cigarettes.

Sorry to see John go. Good guy and very knowledgeable which is extremely rare when it comes to racing on television.


Good Luck,
Joe B.

 Imbriale\'s leaving? Does this mean
they have to teach Jan Rushton how to
speak English?

Really liked John after he got more air time when Harvey Pack left.  Also considered some of his long shot selections in the NYRA preview show.  About Jan, I remember her from Jerry\'s old \"Post Time\" show.  She is terrific with a script but when she adlibs I like her hats.

 5 feet of silicone?

 Hey can we maybe , please, bring Harvey back,  just for a while. He was always the best thing about NY Racing , that and when my third cousin Oscar was practicing.
