This is ironic given that you whined last year about how you thought I was trolling you on this board.

I've been out of the loop for eons, but why aren't they considering mchorseracecall?

What's great is he's competing against mostly foreigners. And he's obviously also one of the rubes who believed The Stronach Group had changed.

They should just get it over with and hire a Syrian refugee who doesn't speak English as the announcer. It would probably be the best and most entertaining choice as you listen to the new sound of Southern California racing while trying to decide which trainer has the golden needle.

Would also be nice to hear the Syrian refugee introduce Patrick Valenzuela back to the track. Hey Frank the announcer maybe should pick up a yay habit and become a non-conformist.

Mirror man or whatever you call yourself...if that doesn't work maybe move to the EU zone or British territories and pick up a horrible accent.

lol
I agree with all of this.
It worked out for Oaklawn though, they found a guy that sounds a lot like Frank without the bs. He's probably happy to be there as well.

Who do we get at SA this week?

IMO the guy they'll hire. David Fitzgerald

Young and has experience in front of the camera.

Not bad at all. Very colorful descriptions

Good stuff

[Mike A]

If Santa Anita goes with Michael Wrona, who gets the GG job? Frank? or do they go open mike try outs?

[viscount26]

Anyone know who's calling the races today

[richard burch]

It's like who is up next at S.A.

David Fitzgerald, 31, a Racing UK presenter and commentator since 2010, including the 2014 and 2015 Royal Ascot meetings, will call the races at Santa Anita over the weekend of Feb. 27-28.


Wrona is getting a raw deal.

But if not M.W. I would like to see peter berry get a shot too since it seems they want "the queens" accent.

[viscount26]

I'm biased, but he's a good race caller

[tbevans]

Listened to some of his Ascot races and the first few races today. Initial impressions are good. Really like him a lot.

If Wrona is getting a raw deal then what is Mirimadi who quit 2 quality gigs getting?

Mirimadi knew he that he is a temporary fill-in going into this. If Wrona gets the SA gig then GG is open and perhaps he can get that.

Why would he want GG over Oaklawn?

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.

You work for Stronach to speak in such certainties?

I'm flattered to have my name mentioned in conjunction with such a prestigious position but Santa Anita would NEVER entertain a Western New York harness caller being their "voice."

Why Peter? A harness caller can be just as good if not better. I believe Durkin called some harness at the Meadowlands and if anyone could call a race like Jack E. Lee they would win this job in a second.
