Saratoga 2014 Thread

[ScottJ]

While we said our 24th and final "they're off at Saratoga!" chorus with Tom Durkin yesterday, it got me to thinking about the next voice of the NYRA. At first, I thought that Vic Stauffer was a more than able "lock" for the role year 'round followed by Larry Collmus for the Saratoga summer meetings as needed.

In thinking back over Tom Durkin's complete 43 year career, the light bulb went off with another name from the New York area - Sam McKee.

Durkin moved from the Meadowlands and it would seem that Sam McKee has both the respect and capability to be a multiple decades long voice for NYRA.

So, three names now in play in my mind : Stauffer, Collmus, and McKee - all with excellent credentials to hold the post.
