From the article

"We are not going to replace an icon of three decades in less than three weeks, nor are we going to try. Santa Anita will undertake a world-wide search to find the next voice of The Great Race Place for the next generation,” said Joe Morris, SVP West Coast Operations for the Stronach Group. “In the meantime, we are extremely fortunate to have two exceptional race callers available to us in Michael Wrona, who is a member of the Stronach Group family through his years at Golden Gate Fields, and Frank Mirahmadi, who has done a great job of subbing for Trevor during the last two seasons. While it is possible that the right candidate ultimately might indeed be Michael or Frank, we owe it to our fans to find the perfect person, whomever and wherever they may be.” "

I know he's a nyra guy and there's no shot at him calling Santa Anita, but John Imbriale is hands down the best out there right now IMO. He's got "it" whatever it is. Wrona is like finger nails on a chalkboard and frank sounds like a Debbie downer at the end of a race. His calls are so strange. Can't imagine him getting the full time gig.

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
