Title: Seibel new announcer at Cal Expo
Post by: RocknRoll on August 01, 2013, 10:30:05 AM

Gary Seibel, The "Voice of the Hambletonian" and prior to his time with the TVG network the announcer at Pompano Park for many Breeders Crown championships,  will soon become the "Voice of Cal Expo," too.
 
Seibel will take over announcing duties when Cal Expo reopens for harness racing on Oct. 5. He will also serve as host of Cal Expo's simulcast broadcast to outlets nationwide.
 
"I'm really looking forward to getting back to the sights and sounds of the racetrack," Seibel told Debbie Arrington of the Sacramento Bee in a phone interview from his home outside Las Vegas. "My roots are as an announcer. … I've missed being around the horses. This seems like a very good fit for me and I'm really excited."
 
Seibel, 61, served as track announcer at Pompano Park for 18 years. Since 1999, he's primarily worked as a broadcaster, including a dozen years on horse racing network TVG. He also hosted ESPN's Breeders Crown coverage for more than a decade.
