Love Santa Rosa. Was there last Summer and the new turf course is impressive......When I was in school in the bay area I would get up there at least twice during their meet: go to the fair then go to the races....LOADS of fun. Wow that city has grown.

I think few people realize the amount of work and talent that is on display at a county fair. One guy there had won so many blue ribbons that he had made a coat out of them.

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.

AWESOME POST!

Don "The Golden Throat" Alexander was a legend! When I first met him he was selling cassette tapes of race calls to the horsemen at Caliente. This is even before VHS. He's one of the reasons I decided to try to become a race caller. Figured if he could do it why not me? He's one of a myriad of people to call Hollywood Park over the years. There's a tough one. Name all the people to call at least one race at Hollywood Park!

I didn't know John Lies calls Fonner? Is that new this year?

Jim Beyers is one of my favorite people. He fills in at Oaklawn when I play the NHC. Not this year though because it's be changed to late August (COVID).

Chris Griffin called more that just PLN he called all the Fairs for many seasons.

I didn't know Paul Espinosa now calls Penn National? Is that new?

Great you mentioned Dan Loiselle too. All class all the time.

Paul Espinosa is at Charles Town rather than Penn National, right?

Michael Chamberlin was just announced this weekend as leaving Evangeline for Hoosier.

John Lies calls at Will Rogers Downs. I believe it's the "other" (not DRF) Steve Anderson who calls at Fonner.

Also, after a little poking around it appears as if:

John Bogar - Penn National

has been there about 30 years.

I still remember when I started playing the ponies in 1983 some of the announcers.

Of course Marshall Cassidy at NYRA, “Bullet” Bob Meyer at Yonkers, Jack E. Lee at Roosevelt and Howard Oil at Monticello (the only announcer on this list who is still calling races.) Then on Tuesday’s NYC OTB would get the out-of-town tracks:

Ross Morton at Finger Lakes/Gulfstream (probably the most distinct voice of all the announcers)
Tom Durkin at Hialeah
Bob Savage at Calder (one of the most laid back announcers. Too bad I cannot find one of his calls on YouTube)
Dick Woolley at Bowie/Laurel/Pimlico
Jack Lamar at Keystone (Your horse ALWAYS got at least three or four calls and an announcer who would try to call dead heats lol).
