I think that John I was calling the day that filly made her debut.
BTW, I still think that Durkin's call of the strech run between Congomambo and Kyungbokkung was a great one. He never missed a beat with those two ghastly (to a race caller) names!

Durkin's been calling horses the wrong name at times lately.
In last Saturday's fourth race he called
Good Request Good Reward from his first call until the stretch when he must have realized he was calling a maiden race, looked at his pocket program and saw that the horse who was running was
Good Request.
Durkin is one of my top two favorites. In my opinion Vic Stauffer and Tom Durkin are 1-2.
