I know she's been doing the race analysis out here recently and has been doing Cby for a few years. And she did the spring Hawthorne meet two years ago when Jim Miller wasn't there. As for her announcing skills? I have no idea. I'm guessing she probably filled in for Paul Allen at Cby when the Vikings were playing.

When she did the paddock analysis she was such a fast talker it was sometimes hard to understand her.
But when she called races at Canterbury she did a great job.
I expect her to do as well at Golden Gate.

She joins Renel Brooks-Moon, the PA announcer of the Giants (who herself replaced Sherry Davis in the job), up there. San Francisco is extremely progressive-- most places don't have one female PA announcer in a major sport; they've now had three.

I'm probably going to get skewered for this because....well, just because.
I listened to her Canterbury calls. She is very nasal. And she needs to polish up her calls. I am partial to smooth calls, as opposed to choppy or halting.
I think a few visits to a speech coach will make her a better race announcer.
One thing she can do is learn to breathe. Running out of breath causes any speaker to sound nasal.

According to the DRF, Angela Hermann was the first woman to ever call a full race card when she filled in for the Canterbury announcer in 2013, so I imagine she's the first female to ever get a "regular gig" anywhere.
I've honestly never heard her call a race so I can't give an opinion on that, but best of luck to her.

Here are some of her calls at Canterbury. She has a rather unique style of combining calling and commenting. I think the small fields at GGF will help her relax a little and polish her skills.

She's a bit nervous today. When announcing, you have to formulate every word before you enunciate, and she's getting ahead of herself. I know she has a fair amount of experience on television, however, so I am sure this will come.

I dont care for her race calls, but then again I can say that about half the callers now. I am glad to see a woman get the chance though.

Too much ad lib. Just call the race. Reminds me of Matt Jukich at Northlands Park.
However, I do think she will improve with more experience unlike some!!
