If you can't grasp that Durkin was attempting to maintain composure and give a good call while under the duress of knowing that the most popular horse in America may or may be dying at the time, and that he needed to make sure that he was projecting a lack of great concern for that rather than who won the race I can't help you. Do you honestly think that it was more important to scream and yell that a horse had won while the Derby winner was prone on the track? Hell even Albertrani looked stoic upon race completion when they cut the camera to him at races end(although those behind him who were cheering and yelling and shouting didn't exactly look so appropiate). Whats your gripe here? Do you even have one?
What I really thought was bush league was ole I can't be bothered with fractions Trevor Denman being so intellectually weak as to have made up a script about what he was gonna say "when Bernadini won" and was stuttering like a loony tunes charcter when Invasor mulched him. As Bugs would say, what a maroon.
Exactly! His call on Preakness day was the right way to handle it. at no point did he ever "put down" Bernardini.

Another Denman miss- (a BIG one)- he didn't mention Pine Island going down AT ALL. Not even after the race was over. In the same race, nothing about Asi Siempre running back and forth in the stretch like a drunken sailor playing pinball with her competitors!
