History was made at Grand River Raceway on Tuesday night when Dawn Lupul became the first woman to announce a card of harness racing in Canada.
The standardbred combatants in the first race gave Lupul a test right off the bat with a tight photo finish, and emerging victorious was NF Rivertown and trainer-driver Roger Mayotte.

I just wanted to say 'thank you' to everyone for all of the wonderful comments. It was a nerve-wracking experience for me but I got through it and will keep on practicing in hopes of trying again someday. A special thanks to Kelly Spencer from Grand River Raceway for being brave enough to give me a chance, and to Gary Guy for suggesting it in the first place.
And kudos to all of the announcers out there - it is way tougher than it sounds!!
