Jessica Paquette calling Parx
 
Was awful.Only in racing do you get hire for a position you're not qualified for.

Everyone on twitter giving her kudos was laughable.

Honestly it was listening to a young female Grunder


Felt like she was calling horses from another track..

Classy. Glad I wasn't judged for my qualifications based on my first day's performance at any of my positions. And glad I didn't judge those I hired the same way.

You can practice, but the first time you're in the booth you're actually calling from and learning the angles and tough spots - it's different.

Wrona's been the Los Al guy for a while. It's mostly a 2 night a week gig except for double duty on the T-bred meets, but it is year round and in pleasant SoCal.

Larry's doing the Del Mar fall gig starting this weekend - he probably could have had the whole meet, but he apparently chose to be on post BC vacation in Turks & Caicos instead - that's his prerogative. It's an interesting choice nonetheless, especially for someone you'd think would be considered for the full-time gig when Trevor actually retires (if he hasn't already).

So for Wrona, the move would at best be lateral. For Collmus, it would probably be considered a step down.

I'm ok with some fresh voices in the booth and with giving them some time to get good.

Is she full time now?

It should be mandatory here to post a link when complaining about a race caller, jockey's ride or a steward decision.

Yes. Announcement came after Chris Griffin was named for Aqueduct winter and Monmouth summer meets.

Griffin is "hanging around" doing paddock stuff, etc. for a little bit before he starts his Aqueduct gig.

Jess will be fine
 
Give her time

Parx racing is, however, terrible

She'll be the first to admit she had a couple of rough ones today.

If only posting replays was that simple.

I definitely don't have posting videos down and I don't know why. Sometimes the video shows, sometimes just the link. I always figured the inconsistency was caused by having lousy slow internet. I think I am doing it the same way every time, maybe not.

This is what works (attached):

the "v=" and the code following it (I believe it is always 11 characters following the "v=") are vital...if you see an ampersand in that code, STOP RIGHT THERE and don't include the ampersand or anything to the RIGHT of it...and you'll always be good

so TLDR; the link to a YouTube video must only include the "v=" and the 11 characters that follow, nothing additional

Tough crowd, it was her first day. She seemed to improve as the day wore on.

horsefan2019 11-15-2022 07:20 PM

Rough crowd, when I heard her call it sounded like she was new to the job. Obvious first day jitters, but she'll get better once she gets it down.
