I didn't say he was a bad guy, I just don't care for his skills as an announcer, I think he is as bland and his calls are as monotone and nondescript as they come.

That's a fair criticism I think.. He is bland, but I felt that there's been a certain 'spring' in his voice that had been absent for a long time... And you're right about him being a nice guy...

Monotone is a great way to describe John Imbriale. Technically hes okay but sometimes it downright depressing hearing his voice. Its o tranquil, almost like a psychiatrist.
But I agree with Da Hoss, hearing John Imbriale brings me back to the 90's when horse racing was filled with so many great horses and storylines.

Imbriale is okay. I guess you develop a preference for certain announcers. He, like Durkin cant call close photos on a consistent basis. Denman and Stofer always make a very good effort to call them.
I prefer Denman but technically he isnt the best guy out there. He sure sucked on BC Day but day in day out I like his voice and overall calling way more than Durkins. Durkin thinks 23 to the quarter is fast. He flat out calls the wrong horse very often in a race. He should stop drinking and take his job more serious. Hes got a good one. For what he does he may be one of the more overpaid guys out there.
