I was pretty happy that he kept the "Rachel Alexander" slips to a minimum. 'Rachel Alexandra the Great' indeed.

It's like listening to baseball on the radio, some broadcasters style suit some people better then others. Vin Scully vs. John Sterling is night and day but both are pro's. Other then saying Durkin has lost a little in typical overnight races, he is still a terriffic listen. Your Cesario call is still my fav.

On his game.

I loved the comment after the race - "and if your heart can take it, we still have two more races for you"

I'm not big into calls and all that, but I just watched the race again and that just gave me goose bumps. Pretty cool!
