Congrats to Michael Wrona who will call the Kentucky Downs meet from August 28-September 10. I have agreed to pinch hit again for Wrona at Los Al for nights of August 29,30 and September 6 and 7.

This is insanity. Easily one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. Makes the Zulu Kingdom DQ look reasonable by comparison.
