Default Michael Wrona fired

Was he doing a poor job ? He seemed to being doing a good job. The Churchill stewards should be fired after yesterday’s incompetence/ corruption.

"It has nothing to do with money," Wrona said. "My first contract had expired, and I thought I was meeting to kick on, but I was kicked out. (Ritvo) said it was nothing personal."

Multiple sources at The Stronach Group also said Santa Anita simulcast host Megan Devine has been dismissed, along with XBTV's Aaron Vercruysse and Richard Migliore

He wasn't fired. His contract wasn't renewed.
Big difference imo

i heard Frank will continue to be the track announcer at Monmouth. I guess there is a few weeks of overlap with Santa Anita so he will miss the first few weeks of Monmouth.

A good example of why Frank Miramadi got that job in the 4th at Aqeduct. Good stretch duel with the winner not a part of it . Frank saw the 2 coming strong outside while everyone else focused on the 1 & 10. Good race call there .

Frank anticipates as well, if not better, than any announcer in the game.
