Jessica is a good person. Very close to my cousin Kathy from Suffolk Downs days. Wishing her success.

I hope she does well. Saw an interview where she admits she's only called about 50 races before Parx and most of them were quarters at 250 yards at Sam Houston. After listening to some of her calls from her first week at Parx, you can hear she has a long way to go. It's clear that she's nervous. I've never called a race (but think I could) and my advice would be for her to slow down...a lot. From the interview, I can see she's a fast speaker. That quick tempo doesn't work well for most of a race and she's making mistakes because of her speed. You'd never read a long paragraph to an audience without any punctuation. This is what it feels like listening to her call.
Keith Jones was legendary at Parx and I loved his calls year after year. When Chris Griffin came in, I think he felt the pressure of trying to replace Keith and had a really bad first week, filled with mistakes. Chris settled down and became an outstanding announcer at Parx. I hope I can say the same for Jessica down the road.

She is aware it was a bumpy start.

Would they hire Vic Stauffer after his firing? Plenty of rumors about Vic.
