Out of those 4 I would have to go with Durkin's call of the '87 Classic.
Last year's Florida Derby shows Stauffer at his worst. He is just terrible. Everytime he calls a big race someone needs to remind him that we want to watch a horse race, and not his performance.
My all-time favorite though is Durkin in the '89 Classic.
"Sunday Silence is a threatening presence on the outside...."
"Coming to the final furlong Sunday Silence surges to the front..."
"Easy Goer with....one....final....acceleration...."
"and Sunday Silence holds on and he wins by a desperate neck..."
"Easy Goer was too late, and it was Sunday Silence.....in a racing EPIC."

Easy Goer's Gotham was SO tremendous but the call was pretty unremarkable. I like the drama of Durkin.

wow, I will admit it was my first time watching that Holy Bull race, and I have watched it several times now. What a race.

IrishofNDMan 03-26-2007 07:23 PM

And there is cause for Concern!

IrishofNDMan 03-26-2007 07:35 PM

The stretch almost confuses me, how did Concern not catch him? Do you think Concern started to tire, or was Holy Bull really that game and had another hidden gear?

KirisClown 03-26-2007 07:41 PM

Concern wasnt tired, he just kept coming, the NYRA vid isnt that great. When I can ill upload the ABC feed.. you'll see Concern's move better and how the two pull away from the rest of the field by almost 15lths.

Holy Bull just wouldnt give in... and he had every right to.

DaTruth 03-26-2007 07:52 PM

One of my personal favorites was Holy Bull's romp in the 1994 Woodward.

I appreciate the individuals who have posted the numerous racing videos on YouTube. One day I will dustoff my video collection of major stakes starting in the 1980s and add my contributions to the YouTube library.

Uncle Daddy 03-26-2007 08:32 PM

I like Vic and his different styles. May not be popular but he get's the calls and the fractions in with a little flair

KirisClown 03-26-2007 11:47 PM

Here's the ABC Dave Johnson version of the 94 Travers... video is better quality, but the call is a joke compaired to Durkins...
