I am sad to share that Darren Tyquin, one of the most well known track announcers and racing media profiles in New Zealand, died in an automobile accident during the night. Darren was a super-nice individual, a wonderful race caller and a true asset to worldwide horse racing. He was just 41-years-old.

Darren was fortunate enough to announce a race in which a horse he owned himself won at big odds... 31-1 to be exact. What a thrill! He will be missed.
