Perhaps there is a financial component here that none of us will see, but it would seem strange to go back to a job for which you ran second unless you really wanted the job and had a financial incentive to take it. While Frank has been back and forth across the country, he always seemed to be an East Coast announcer from a style perspective - and a New Yorker at heart. After his health issues a time back, I thought he would be a permanent fixture here.

If this worst kept secret in horse racing this weekend is true, we should wish Frank nothing but good health and good luck in this new role.

So if you ran second to one of the premier jobs in the country in your field you would not peruse it in the future if it became available again because you didn't get it the first time?
