I thought his call on Proud Spell's win was really good...."Aaaar", not so much.

I thought it was entertaining and at times Durkin sounds so foolish its funny.
I think hes trying to make up for a weak overall performance this summer at Saratoga and Belmont. Hes lost what made him the best.

Anyone notice he referred to Precious Passion as "the longshot leader" in yetserday's Sword Dancer? Longshot? 5/1? Maybe he was still looking at the morning line of 15/1.

It would've been slightly more bearable had it not prompted every douchebag in the place to repeatedly mimic it and then laugh about it with the rest of their douchebag friends.

How many horses yesterday were stalking "cool and calculated"?

Ya, lol. What does that mean, anyways?
I always like his line "and so and so arrives on the scene late"

I'll be honest, I didnt go yesterday and watched the Arrrr race on the replays at 7pm and found myself rooting for him to get in contention just so I could hear Durkin do his thing.

did anyone here Dooley talking about 'crossing swords' in his race call (last race) on Saturday?

It was real hilarious...

didn't hear that one, but every time I hear him say that so and so jockey is using a "polygrip", i want to puke.

or why does he refer to the rail as "these rails"? how many rails does he see in his binoculars?
