![]() I cant begin to imagine how difficult it is to call a race. All I know is that everyone of us would butcher any racecall even if we tried but as long
we could pronounce Mishegas then anyone of us could get the job at Santa Anita perhaps. Wrona IMO is the best choice for Santa Anita. He makes it look easy. Other race callers seems like they are reading from a script while wrona tells a story. |

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.

![]() Craig Evans is fantastic. Never could figure out why no one plucked him from Singapore sooner. Clear, concise, and knows how to make it interesting without making himself the focal point of the race. Kind of like Robert Geller.

![]() Drastically different than the big name callers in America. Ziconic's race yesterday was a perfect example. Ziconic would have been the focal point of the call (for better or worse, since I know some people do not like when a caller focuses on one horse rather than calling all horses). Durkin, Denman, Collmus would have been all over his late move, whereas Evans didn't really mention it until 2 or 3 jumps before the wire with a factual, rather than excited, tone.

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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCyCd2evF9c Young and has experience in front of the camera.
