Golden Gate Fields track announcer Matt Dinerman has been tabbed the race caller for the 2022 Wine Country Racing Meet at the Sonoma County Fair in Santa Rosa, Calif. Dinerman replaces Michael Wrona, who is fulfilling his race calling duties at Los Alamitos.
This year, racing returns to the Sonoma County Fairgrounds for the first time since 2019. The 30-year-old Dinerman called the 2020 and 2021 Wine Country Racing meets when those dates were held at Golden Gate during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I'm really looking forward to calling the races and working with everyone at Santa Rosa,” said Dinerman. “It's going to be a blast! Michael Wrona does an exemplary job. He sets the bar high, so I've got big shoes to fill. Whenever a track asks you to be their voice, it's very flattering.”
Dinerman has attended the races at Santa Rosa in past years and was quick to mention how much he enjoyed the experience.
“Santa Rosa is a fun destination for any racing fan,” said Dinerman. “The atmosphere is very festive. There's a lot of people who come out to the races and they are always having a good time. There's a ton of good food places to go to after the races. It's just a really fun time.”
Along with calling races, Dinerman is scheduled to co-host the daily pre-race seminar with racing expert Michael Patricks.
Santa Rosa begins their 2022 race meet on Thursday, August 4 and runs through Sunday, August 14. Live racing will be conducted on a Thursday through Sunday basis both weeks. First post on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday is 1:45 PM while Friday race programs kick off at a slightly later post of 2:15 PM.
