Was listening to Down the Stretch on the way to TBD Saturday morning and apparently the now extended SA meet (with the closing of Hollywood Park) is too long and takes him away from his ranch in MN much longer than he wants to be away.

Good for him. Fortunate is the man who prioritizes his own terms.

Per his twitter account, Frank Mirahmadi has resigned from Oaklawn to pursue opportunities with The Stronach Group and Santa Anita Park

Don't get the frank love. Dude sounds disappointed at the end of every race he calls.

I tend to agree with this. He's perfectly serviceable and can hold his own, but short of the marathon calls where he does impressions, they are rather vanilla and have a tendency to ramp downward toward the finish.

Not sure whether he is interested in being a full time race caller or not, but the guy that does the pre-race handicapping at Remington, Chris Kotulak certainly has the enthusiasm for the job and has substituted for the regular race caller, at Remington on occasions. I think he would make a good race caller for Oaklawn.
