Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 7, 2020 Journalists Share Posted September 7, 2020 Chris Griffin will call the races for the remainder of the Monmouth Park meeting as regular announcer Frank Mirahmadi returns to California Sept. 12 to call the upcoming Santa Anita meeting. The Monmouth meet concludes Sept. 27 and will be followed by a nine-day Meadowlands-at-Monmouth meet in October. Griffin, 39, most recently served as the track announcer at Sam Houston Race Park. “It’s a huge opportunity. I’m excited,” said Griffin. “I’m looking forward to getting back into the booth and calling races. This has been a strange year, as everyone knows, so when an opportunity like this comes along, you take it.” A native of Santa Monica, California, Griffin got his start as an announcer at the Humboldt County Fair in Ferndale in 2015. He has called races at the various California fair meets, at Portland Meadows, Los Alamitos and Gulfstream Park West. “Chris is a rising star in the industry,” said Mirahmadi. “He has a great voice and has earned this opportunity. I’m so happy to welcome him to the Monmouth Park announcer’s booth. Our fans will love him.” The post Griffin Takes the Mic at Monmouth appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
