Couple of corrections...
ROBERT Geller (WO, formerly EMD) replaced Dan Loiselle
RICHARD Grunder (TAM)
Keith Jones now retired (not sure who the replacement is)
Jim Byers - one of the many Hollywood Park annoucers past currently at Lone Star Park
Matt Hook - also MVR
Also believe John Lies is now the Fonner announcer.
Not mentioned now with regular gigs
Matt Dinerman - Golden Gate (formerly EMD) -> replaces (in backwards order):
Frank Miramahdi, Alan Buchdahl, Angela Hermann, Michael Wrona
Chris Griffin - Sam Houston (formerly PLN)
Paul Espinosa - Penn National
And how 'bout a special honor for Don Alexander, the original "goof on the roof" who reportedly gave up the Hollywood Park job for Bandera Downs. It may be an apocryphal story but when he was at Hollywood he supposedly would circulate among the crowd and ask them how/if they liked the announcer. I believe his departure paved the way for Wrona's first regular gig in the US.
