How was his first BC compared to when he was a BC vet? I would imagine it's got to be pretty hard to go from calling 4-5 horse races like they normally have in CA to calling 14 horses in these races. Overall, I thought Trevor was fine and he'll only be better next year.

Durkins first breeders cup was a masterpiece.People forget that Durkin was not known before the breeders cup.He had been calling the races at Hialeah and then harness racing at the meadowlands.I think Durkin did much more preparation for the cup than Trevor and it showed.Durkin would have had a little tidbit to say for certain horses and i'm sure after Invasor crossed the finish line would of been ready to mention that Jara was the youngest jock to win a breeders cup.I think his ego came into play on breeders cup day.I didn't see the early races and just listened to the call of Street Sense and that was not good.One of the faults i see with Trevor is that he will zone in on a horse and make him the winner when he's still 5 lengths behind.On a national stage when you have many casual fans watching you need someone strong.Vic Stauffer would be an animal on a day like today.
