Michael Wrona fired

[Benny]

"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

Frank is Iranian, not Italian. But he does love pizza.

If you think I made my statement without knowing that he is obsessed with East Coast pizza you would be incorrect. His nationality never and would ever factor into my statement.

Wrona deserved better. Especially given the protracted process he had to go through to get the job. He is an excellent race caller and and a very nice man.

My guess is they go with Matt Dinnerman next. He already works for the company and would be less expensive. Plus, they may want to lock him up before another circuit lures him away. He is very good as well.
