Post by: sea biscuit on November 15, 2011, 02:05:55 PM

Buffalo Raceway has announced a pair of appointments to its racing staff.

On Monday, November 14, the track announced the appointment of Virginia Rosenfeld as race secretary and Gabe Prewitt as announcer for the upcoming 2012 race meet, which will begin in January.

Rosenfeld has been employed as assistant race secretary, program director, and charter at Batavia Downs since 2002.

Very happy.   The Buffalo Boneyard will now be in my rotation just because they have a quality announcer which makes it entertainment.

Setting aside the fact that Gabe is a buddy of mine, he is one hell of an announcer and he will keep getting better.

James Witherite is also one hell of an announcer, but Gabe is the only announcer who is a member here right now, so he is my favorite. Ayers and James were members of the old forum, thus Gabe is now my favorite for the time being.

1)-- congratulations to Gabe.....you do a very good job and I am glad that you have decided to spend some of your time in Cleveland as well as call the races at 2 COMMERCIAL TRACKS !! (That is quite an accomplishment for someone your age)!!  Many announcers do not make it as for as you have by the time they retire.

2)--Gary....here I am--can you please adjust your "favorites list".....haha!!

Actually looking forward to this meet more than ever... This change plus the race office changes are good too.. I had some bad partnerships last year so cleaned that part up, so hoping for good things. Purses are going to be up too.

I appreciate the words of encouragement from everyone!  I love being on the mic, and am really looking forward to getting up there and getting our meet kicked off!  I really need the experience in order to improve, and fortunately I should get in plenty of races there. 

Also, I've got to thank Ayers for allowing me to fill in at Northfield, although you'll have to tell him there is only room for one favorite Gary....  rflmao1 thumbsup

Would welcome anyone in the Buffalo area to come up and watch a race from the booth if they get a chance, I don't know a sole within a 200 mile radius I don't believe... haha.   I'm sure I'll meet some people soon enough....   

Again, I'd like to thank everyone for the kind words...  It certainly does mean a lot!

is the new race sec the assistant race sec from last year?

i didnt think robin burns did that bad of a job. there was a wide variety of conditions, at least for mares. it sure beat northfields current set up where if you win 1 race, your in 400ps, the highest condition offered, and then you have to wait 8 starts to move down. purses are also considerably higher.

im also looking forward to visiting the buffet in the casino. its top notch.
