Watching international racing, I see they all call races in this style overseas.

When Durkin retires, and New Yawkers move into the modern era, boy are they in for a shock. They're like my father-in-law who use to say "I don't need no cable tv, rabbit ears are just fine!". Before that it was "This 1-speaker am radio sounds just fine. Who needs stereo?"

Being from the New York, I just pray to God that when Durkin does retire Denman comes nowhere near the East coast. I could give you a list of guys I would rather have doing the NYRA races AD (after Durkin).
I respect you opinion, but I personally think Denman is very overated and I also find him very annoying. As far as I'm concerned he isn't even the best caller on the left coast.
