Denman and Durkin have both lost a step..Have no idea how anyone could prefer Johnson to Collmus. Vic is far better than Johnson as well...Johnson's done enough.

Most underrated I'd say Peter Berry and Dave Rodman. Two very good racecallers.

I prefer Vic. Don't really love Collmus.

There's never been anybody to love except Durkin in his prime. Nobody else has ever approached that. "They are who we thought they were."

I couldn't take Johnson's yelling during a race. Everytime Colmus was calling the Derby on NBC you could not hear him because Johnson was yelling in the background.

I was a big fan of Harry Henson @ Hollywood Park back in the day and Dave Johnson was good when he called at Santa Anita.

I also think Vic was good and deserve a shot at a top tier track.

How long ago was it that he was in his prime, 15 or 20 years ago? I would put Trevor up against anyone.
