Agree with my man Vox, location location location. at River i am right on the wire, so if i cop out and call photo there, its either really close or i'm a chicken. but at PM, i'm atleast 40 yards down from the wire, thus its a lot more difficult.

as far as the big fields, bring em on, the more the merrier.

With respect to Trevor, Michael, Peter and Robert. All very talented callers. Why are American racing fans intoxicated with accents? Why are callers from other places better just because they do something we could also do well if giving the opportunity?

Kurt Becker could call a 50 horse field and never miss one.

Where's the love for the yanks?
I like American callers better, Vic.

I like the "There away from the machine" and "whipping up the outside" Becker calls a very clean race, but also a very boring race. I would rather have a guy miss something on occasion and carry more cadence in his voice. Just my personal opinion.

Yesterday Durkin couldnt even call Egyptian King as the winner of the 7th race at Aqu. That was pretty weak. What finish line was he looking at?
