I'm a big fan of Wrona. He's savvy, observant, and when race injuries occur, he shows compassion. His vocabulary and diction are strong, and his voice is compelling and distinctive. He has no annoying verbal tics.

I regularly tune out announcers in order to concentrate on evaluating the visuals of race trips... not so with Wrona. His calls give me info I want as well as commentary I enjoy.

Wrona would be great as the voice of Churchill Downs (no disrespect to the other fine talents auditioning for the spot). If he is hired, I'll go to the track more often.
