Larry Callmiss is so plain vanilla and he was screeching at the end of the call. Tom Durkin is and always will be the king of the triple crown callers

I completely agree about Larry, it's just that Tom Durkin has the ability to give you chills by his call alone. The Ferdinand/Alysheba call gives me goosebumps to this day.

Durkin would've called the winner Itsagoodtendollars. And wished he had ten dollars on him.

I saw nothing wrong with Larry's call. Nothing.

For the record, I thought Larry was great!!! Nothing wrong with his call, just kind of miss the emotion of Tom. No knock on anyone. Actually says a lot that Larry did sort of lost his voice in the stretch call, the race was just that good.

To infer that Callmiss is better than Tom Durkin is probably the president of his fan club

That race didn't need an announcer to make it exciting. Larry is a cool customer who rarely screams. I thought the call was pro and the drama was provided by the race itself.

Who claimed California horses suck? Sounds like you have an inferiority complex.

I knew he was done when I saw how close he was to the pace.

He's an Ice Box type if you want to be a little kind and a Make Music For Me type if you want to be a jerk about it.
