thrilled to wel- come Doug to Fort Erie,” said general manager of the Fort Erie Live Racing Co n s o r t i um, Drew Cady. “He’s a young and passionate h o r s e p e r s o n with a wide range of knowl- edge and experience in the industry, and we’re looking forward to watching him thrive in this new role.” McPherson works as
a groom in his dad’s stable at Woodbine, but his first racing job was as a hot- walker when he was 13. His first handicapping gig was at Ajax Downs, writing for their program and appearing as a guest on their pre-race show.
He was the tip sheet
author at Kawartha Downs for a few seasons, which is also where he called his first race. He has spent the last three years writing the Handicapper’s Journal for Woodbine and is also a fre- quent guest on their pre- race show. “I’m excited to be a
part of the Fort Erie team and I’m looking forward to tackling a new challenge in my career,” said McPher- son. “Horse racing in On- tario is my passion and I am very grateful for this oppor- tunity to expand my partici- pation in the industry.” McPherson is taking
over the announcing gig from Frank Salive, who re- tired from calling races at the border oval after six years with Fort Erie. Fort Erie Race Track will be welcoming fans back this season, which kicks off on Tuesday, May 31 at 4:05 p.m.
