Default Has there even been a female announcer?
Why are there no female announcers? Are men better at memorizing horse names than women?? j/k Is it just not a feminine thing to do to announce a horse race?

I don't think it has a thing to do with memorization... i just think the deeper sound of a male voice is more pleasing, especially since every voice seems to go up an octave for the stretch run. You wouldn't want it to sound screechy.

Is she as bad at horses as she is on baseball....her squealing over the Roger Clemens announcement was repulsive..

As a matter of fact her and Jonh Sterling are repulsive...though I like Ken Singleton...and Jim Kaat was good too.
