 DAWN LUPUL

[slivercharm]

I wanna be a race sec

I heard u are a race secretary’s giggalo now

[Calhoun]

I hear Tim already turned this down

[toothman]

DAWN LUPUL

 She won me over with "Domedomedome"

[eyeinthesky]

My view , from up high...is that Jason Portuondo will leave the harness side and move to the Thorobred spot with Jeff Bratt...effective ly replacing Dawn....which he has done before on a fill in basis. He claims to have a "runner" background....exc ersing horses in the AM..AND  has appeared on some of the TV shows that hosted   WDB triple crown races

Thus..there is an opening on the harness side..........to work with Chad Rozema.  Chad  has alo filled in as back up announcer..which protects his job

[Rabbi Of Racing]

I think many here would do a great job,God Bless all of you,best site on earth

Finally, an opp. for Roger to mine new territory to gather more information for the sequel book?  The Voice, eh?

[mwins]

Jason moving to tbred side. Mark Mckelvie will be offered the job.

[eyeinthesky]

Mark is a good idea....and he has come a long way....but...know ing his skills and what he has done for WDB.....he would be a logical choice....why did they bother posting the job ?

But I have not heard any rumors of who is leaving...Jason or Chad............. ..........??

[Jctoronto]

If this was 15 yrs ago id take shot..too far now to drive from east toronto out there.

Theyll be looking for minority or hot woman if they can find..young asian would be their perfect hit.

Among the available if he still wanted..but is older now and currently calls fort erie thoroughbred. Frank Salive..not sure weg and he played so nice together..u.s. Gabe too far to make it wirth while.....remembe r your third in booth pecking order here (middleton rozema ahead of you) 
Unsaid job posting.  30 -35 pretty or handsome, pref. minority....i understand that. 

Whats our old ftiend john bothe doin these days?  oh yea, have to make selections.

Im available..im.jus t too damned old ..too damned male..too damned white

[therealdoctor]

Jo Jo Chintoh or that midget Peter Gross??

[eyeinthesky]

They could  have left Standardbred team in tact.........and replace Dawn with Renee Kierans.........w ho burned some bridges when she was let go when they dumped a bunch of good people  5 years ago. Renee knew how to talk with trainers, and jockeys..and always had good questions to ask.

Or , another good hire would be Elissa Blowe , who had a similar job at Ft Erie...and often filled in at WDB.  She too was knowledgeable and a pretty good handicapper. She  , like Renee have moved on to other situations.
