Is That Dawn Calling the Races from Woodbine This Evening?

[infrontby1]

If so, she's doing an excellent job substituting the regular announcer.

Has anybody ever hear her previously call the races?

Ive heard her call mohawk before. She's fantastic, better than many lower level track announcers.

Yeah I liked her tonight, the calls were really clear and pronounced.

Dawn is awesome. I've had her on my radio show a couple times and she is always super prepared and is a real good broadcaster on any medium IMO

She has called harness as well in the past, does a good job.

It's unfortunate that she says WO needs to hire a male announcer. Sex discrimination isn't any more justifiable when endorsed by women.

Here's a more in-depth article from today's Toronto paper. Talk about getting no notice..and she did great!

I think her comment was more in line with stating the reality of the biases that she has seen rather endorsing those biases. However, had a man said those precise words, it would definitely be viewed as sexist because no matter how a statement like that would be qualified (e.g., "While I don't share this view....", "While this view is biased and wrong....", etc.), it would be viewed as an endorsement.

I had the TV on last night to the OTB channel here and heard her calls. Since they don't include track video, it really emphasizes the race caller. I think she did a fine job.

Had she been fortunate enough to call a stretch battle between Hubbylefttheseatup and Hubbyputthseatdown, she would be looking at offers for a full time job.
