Durkin is still head and shoulders above the field when it comes to the big events. Just hearing Dennman on BC day made it less enjoyable. You could tell he really wanted Bernardini to win so he could make a big call, but that did not happen. For a guy thats supposed to be techniquely perfect, he made an awful amount of mistakes.
I would like to see Tony Calo take over at Gulfstream if possible. You either love him or hate him, but he has the ability to make an claiming 2,000 race seem like the kentucky derby. He was screwed by Magna also after they hired Wrona at GGF, and he is now filling in at Turf Paradise. He would excel if given the chance.
If you dont remember him, hes the guy that always says "And theerrrre they gooo" to start each race.
If you want to hear him, go to calracing.com and go to the replays and search Lost in the Fog, he is announcing the one on 10/1/05 for the Bay Meadows Speed Handicap.
