Out of those 4 I would have to go with Durkin's call of the '87 Classic.
Last year's Florida Derby shows Stauffer at his worst. He is just terrible. Everytime he calls a big race someone needs to remind him that we want to watch a horse race, and not his performance.
My all-time favorite though is Durkin in the '89 Classic.
"Sunday Silence is a threatening presence on the outside...."
"Coming to the final furlong Sunday Silence surges to the front..."
"Easy Goer with....one....final....acceleration...."
"and Sunday Silence holds on and he wins by a desperate neck..."
"Easy Goer was too late, and it was Sunday Silence.....in a racing EPIC."
