Harness racing trainers and drivers discuss the sports media personalities and celebrities they would like to hear call a race as a guest announcer at their local racetracks in this week's Standardbred Canada video feature.

Adding some colour to their race cards, many horse racing tracks have invited guest announcers to call a race in recent years, including celebrity chef Bobby Flay at Saratoga and late night talk show host Conan O'Brien at Santa Anita. Flamboro Downs also hosted an Announcer Idol contest featuring various local media personalities behind the mic earlier this year while Grand River Raceway hosted its own From Bike To Mic Series two years ago with horsemen calling some of their races.

Which individual from outside harness racing would you like to hear call a harness race?
