I thought Durkin called the Oaks

For the Bravo production. If you watch the replay on Blood-Horse or Twinspires you'll get the actual track announcer.

That's total horseshit. Listen to the calls and you'll hear just the opposite! Unbelieveable !

Yeah that's ridiculous. There is absolutely no conflict of interest. Now mind you I failed Business Ethics 101.

LOL :D

I :{>: you.

That was an 8/5 favorite getting up in the final strides. I would have made the exact call regardless of the rider.

I don't have to justify dick to you. You're entitled to your opinion as I am mine.

Thanks for listening.

So the lower the odds the more hysterical the call? One would think longshots would get the hysterical call. I mean who gives a s.hit about an 8/5 shot winning but crackheads and grandmas? Granted Hollywood Park is full of crackheads...but grandmas? Ok maybe 10 crackhead grandmas on site.

And did a lovely job. Question, what does that mean for the Derby? Will I have to be subjected to anybody other than Mark for that one? I had to catch his version on Youtube. I don't remember hearing "Rachel Alexander" once. :tro:

If NBC is showing the race, I believe that will be Durkin. Track feed will be Mark.

I doubt there would be any either, I'm sure Vic is very mindful his employers are watching and listening to his calls and even more so when he calls Joel's races.

Shootin from behind the fence.
Typical.

I lost my sensitivity to blowhard, no life, pretenders many moons ago. What you say to or about me means less than nothing to me.

I look and respond to these posting boards because I think it's fun. That and I enjoy sharing some inside aspects of the game with real fans. Not pathetic haters.

You could not possibly be more insigificant to me.

Thinking anything else is flattering yourself to a laughable degree.

Thanks for listening.

Have a great night.

All the best.

Didn't Stronach fire you through e-mail? If so, that's f.uckin' hilarious. No wonder why you're wound up tighter than Dick's hatband.

Fair enough. Have a good night.

Fair enough. Have a good night.

I enjoy your work Mr. Stauffer.

I'm certainly enjoying his work here.
