On December 10, 1999 at Hollywood Park, Wrona called the race that saw Laffit Pincay Jr pass Bill Shoemaker for most career victories by a jockey. Nearly seven years later, on December 1, 2006, Wrona was the announcer for the race at Bay Meadows in which Russell Baze passed Pincay for the same honors.
Looks like he has called races at Hollywood,Lone Star and Retama as well as Bay Meadows,GG,FG and Arlington as said above. The guy gets around and that "Racing" thing at the start is probably his signature if such can be so.

That's all nice, but did he ever call a Pepper's Pride race? |
