Her style of calling reminds me a lot like Shane Bacon when he was at Pocono Downs. Good announcer although he could get a bit sing-song at times.
If she can get over stumbling her words, I think the sky's the limit because she does have a good voice.

She has a good style but she seems nervous and a bit unsure on blanket finishes.

Trying to get to fancy with her calls, just call the races as you see them unfold.

She BLEW the 6th race at GG yesterday. Proclaimed SILVER ICE as home free, only for MC CANNS HALF FULL to close and force a photo which she called for SILVER. Unfortunately, MC CANN won the bob.

Jesus, GG just made a bad move here. I'm just wondering what Frank's thought of this is...along with several others who were in the running of the gig. They must be pissed

What has she called, 100 races total? I'm sure she'll get better.

I'd be surprised if she called half of that to be honest.

Most of the announcers who were "in the running" were very supportive and wished her well. With time, I expect she'll be widely accepted.

How did someone with so little experience and apparently no proven track record i the field ever get the job in the first place?
I have no idea who she is, don't care to find out, and will probably never hear a call from her as GG is not on my list of tracks to care about.
Just curious.

I listened to the Youtube clip and thought she's fine. I much prefer her to the guy calling the New York races now. My favorite race caller was the now retired Trevor Denman.

I was hoping Tony Calo comes back. One of my favorite race callers, now at Finger Lakes.
But hey, give Anglea a chance, she will get better when less nervous.

Maybe it's a PR move by GGF if not cost cutting. I like her voice and would be a great addition as a handicapper on Santa Anita/Del Mar circuit.
But saying she will be widely accepted I sincerely doubt. Right now its EMBARRASSING to watch and listen to.
