Tom Durkin
 

Where is he and when is he going to start announcing again...i havent been able to hear Aqueduct since HRTV doesn't show them and I have been at college so if he is there please forgive me!!

He usually returns the first week of April.

Tom Durkin is away on vacation at this time each year. He has a home in Tuscany.

I heard it's very hard to rent there.

In all of Tuscany?? Not even one room to rent!?

Keep posting Andy, I'm learning fast.

I love G.R.I.T.S.:D

Unless you're the maestro of course.

I am reading this post and Jerry Seinfeld just walked out on the Oscars...

They're passed on from Generation to Generation.. you don't just rent one.

Oh well then, at least I still have my Carl Farbman.

Kinda like Augusta National huh?

I thought this thread was going to be about Tom Durkin and a second Tom Durkin.

wow, the thought of two tom dorkins?

man, now i'll never get to sleep!

i'm going to have corny race call nightmares now, in stereo. i'll probably hear cause for concern in surround sound stereo followed up by him calling horses by the wrong name over and over!

That's one of the best calls in the history of thoroughbred racing....

I know Tom Durkin is a great racecaller. He must be, because anywhere I say otherwise, people jump all over me. I never cared for him...way too dramatic. I particularly disliked his comments about Bernardini after the Preakness. I think his negative jibe was edited out of the tape later. Barbaro broke down and we were all beside ourselves, but his dissing of Bernardini was completely unnecessary.

How did he diss Bernardini? I remember at the end of the Saratoga race it sounded like he wet his pants he was so hysterical.
