When Fort Erie Race Track’s 125th racing season begins at the end of May, there will be a new voice ringing through the grandstands.

Experienced horseperson, handicapper and TV personality Doug McPherson will be adding a new skill to his horse racing resumé when he becomes the announcer at Fort Erie Race Track. The twenty-six-year-old has been a guest announcer at a few different tracks, including Woodbine Race Track and Sunland Park in New Mexico, but he will be the new voice of racing at Fort Erie this season.

“We are thrilled to welcome Doug to Fort Erie. He’s a young and passionate horseperson with a wide range of knowledge and experience in the industry, and we’re looking forward to watching him thrive in this new role,” said general manager of the Fort Erie Live Racing Consortium, Drew Cady.
