Over Oaklawn and Monmouth. It's not like he is Vic calling JV Girls basketball games or anything? He had 2 solid gigs.

No one forced him to quit Oaklawn. No one promised him the full-time SA job. He knew that going into it. He took a risk and for his sake, it hopefully works out for him.

Isn't he from California?

I actually thought he was nuts to quit both of those for an 'interview'. Especially the Oaklawn meet, you end up revered(?) down there like that other old dude. Frank would have been there for next 30 years.

It might have had to do with their pay rates also. I have no clue how announcers are paid, guessing its a day rate of some kind and they are 1099.
