Calling a horse race is far more difficult than it may appear. All told Durkin is one of the very best if not the best. That much is becomes easier to realize when you have to listen to some guys at second and third tier tracks who can't pronounce names correctly let alone call the right horses. All that said I do agree with your take re Trakus. Be nice to have that at every track.
