I hope you didn't miss the classic in the selections area... A definitive bullsh.it election

These threads need to be woven together..classic stuff

He called a meet at SunRay a few years ago.

When CD bought the Fair Grounds in 2004 they decided not to hire him because he was requesting $500 a day. They also didn't like his work ethic because he would show up 5 minutes before the 1st race and would be gone prior to the nightcap being official. Having said all that, I consider him a top tier announcer. I just think he rubs people the wrong way. I was surprised they are considering him for the position knowing his past.

Wrona may be the guy who once referred to a longshot front runner that held his lead late as "staying like a mother-in-law!"

Your comments on Wrona's work ethic are preposterous, and $500 per day is not an unreasonable request for a "top tier announcer."

I think he's the front-runner

Your name is offensive and hilarious. Kudos, Peter Berry.


LOL

Wrona is a very good racecaller, one of the best.

Why would him leaving after the last race matter? You think hes going to hangout in the booth all night long and look over the track, someone going to steal it?

The guy is very good, and the guy from England is very good.

500 a day seems cheap to me. Should get 100 per race.

kurt becker dammit..

Hes very accurate and very boring. He puts me to sleep

This whole tryout business begs the question, why would guys like Wrona and Collmus need to "audition" for the job? Don't they have enough credentials to just get it right off the bat?

NT

Collums and Becker have put more people to sleep than Kavorkian

I actually like Kurt Becker.....I too don't see any problem with a announcer leaving after the last race....I knew a top announcer that would try to beat out everyone cashing in their tickets after the last race so he didn't have to sit in traffic leaving the track.....

maybe hrfan should send his resume.

Terry Wallace wasn't offered an audtion? I'm shocked!:eek:

Bogey definitely off-par
 

Anybody is entitled to express an opinion about my racecalling style, but Bogey is wrong with his/her authoritative declaration of my Fair Grounds salary, AND VENTURING TOWARDS LIBEL CONCERNING MY WORK ETHIC. I take great exception to the post, and could call upon countless references to refute such outlandish, unfounded claims...

"When CD bought the Fair Grounds in 2004 they decided not to hire him because he was requesting $500 a day.

Ok who snitched?

This could actually turn into a good thread....

won't happen. i figure bogey will lay low for a bit and wait for the smoke to clear.
