I like Denman, but Durkin blows me away. He has raised goosebumps on me more times than Stephen King and M. Night Shyamalan combined.

That’s a favorite of mine. But so much of choosing favorites can be subjective. I enjoyed the hell out of watching this video. Well done, CL.

By the way, note the camera work on #9 (2000, Tiznow & Giant’s Causeway). Instead of shooting from a fixed mount, the camera moved parallel to the stretch, showing much more dramatically the speed at which the horses are moving. I’d like to see more of that.

I'm going to agree with the rest of you. Each and every one of Durkin's calls makes my blood get going. Total raw excitement as they run down the stretch.
