BRING BACK DURKIN!!!!

I genuinely like Trevor when he calls the races in Cali, but he just cannot handle the BC calls like Durkin does. There's a reason he was the caller for 22 of the 23 years... he's the best.

I will defend him on the dirt races. It was nearly impossible to tell who was who as they raced down the backstretch through the rain and by the time they hit they stretch only the frontrunners are clean.

The purple saddle towels do not help when you are at the track trying to pick out who is who. Not that Denman was looking at them, but I was.

While I am bitching, the sound system at Monmouth is horrid. I rarely could hear Collmus or Denman.

hey, durkin made his bed, they went with denman. it's really a non-issue. or should be.

Sure, he didn't call Achill Island's name down the stretch. And sure he called him Achill Hill the first time. How many times did Jerry Bailey mangle the name in his analysis of the stretch run after the race? Three or four times before he finally gave up. How bout giving Trevor a little credit for picking out the horse that was making the winning move (Nownownow) instead of worrying about the runner-up so much? How bout a little credit for picking up on Corinthian's winning run seemingly on the backstretch?
