Now if we could just get him to learn to pronounce Kiawah Cat properly....

Sightseek 09-05-2009 05:11 PM

On his game.

I loved the comment after the race - "and if your heart can take it, we still have two more races for you" :tro:

The best in the business... hands-down.

God I love my dvr, I couldnt hear it cause I was screaming my butt off as they turned for home. After sheding a tear(I know, I know) at what I just saw, I went back and watched it agian and he did a great job!

NoLuvForPletch 09-05-2009 05:20 PM

And someone should tell him the horse's name in the forego was mulitdude is not mulitude

fpsoxfan 09-05-2009 06:35 PM

I'm not big into calls and all that, but I just watched the race again and that just gave me goose bumps. Pretty cool!

I am sure it was his pleasure

I was pretty happy that he kept the "Rachel Alexander" slips to a minimum. 'Rachel Alexandra the Great' indeed.

I like your big race calls much better. Most of the Big Time race callers do an excellent job. It's like listening to baseball on the radio, some broadcasters style suit some people better then others. Vin Scully vs. John Sterling is night and day but both are pro's. Other then saying Durkin has lost a little in typical overnight races, he is still a terriffic listen. Your Cesario call is still my fav.

there is no right or wrong answer, Durkin is the best of all time, in my opinion, yet VJS' Cesario call is my all time favorite. That being said Robert Gellar is one of my favorite, and he is a far different style than vic or durkin.

there are many amazing announcers here and abroad

But Durkin's call was almost as great as Rachel's performance!!! He was brilliant yesterday

Hey, if none of the horses NEED TO SPROUT WINGS, I'm calling it good.

Seriously, Durkin stepped up big with a great call of a super effort by RA.

On big race days Tom Durkin is the best racecaller we have.

Sightseek 09-06-2009 08:54 PM

I think one of my favorite Durkin calls is "Man oh Mandela, what a day!"
