His classy, assured voice, absent from this circuit for the past three months, got the crowd excited with anticipation as the field neared the gate for the start of the first race, run at one mile on Polytrack, right in front of the grandstand. Moments later, when the field was dispatched by starter Gary Brinson, a loud cheer went up.

"There's the roar from the crowd," Denman shouted, emphasizing the word "roar." "The 2009 Del Mar meeting is underway.""

He does it every year. one year he put that Trevor was "sorely missed on this circuit since april" i think it's more of a cheap shot at Vic than him loving Trevor. don't get me wrong everyone loves Trevor, me included, but that once sentence he puts in every year, and it serves no purpose.

I'm not a huge fan of either, but I'd MUCH rather listen to Vic than Trevor.

I completely agree. Trevor makes too many mistakes for my liking. I wonder if he still thinks Cannonade was running in last year's BC Turf Juvenile rather than Cannonball? Either way they are both a little over the top.

Give me Durkin any day.

I think Durkin calls horses by the incorrect names just as often as Denman, and I hate the way he breathes heavily into the mike, he was much better 15 years ago. I enjoy listening to most of the announcers around the country with the exception of Bataglia, he makes me want to jump out the window. I love both Vic and Trevor out here, they have different but enjoyable race calls that make it easy to know how the race is unfolding if your not watching the race.
