And I don't want to hear the nonsense about how he didn't want to upset the fans. He had no idea that it happened.

I totally agree... I miss Tom Durkin's Breeders Cup calls and even though he's been messing up some names now and again, Denman is not a favorite of mine. It's annoying how many times he uses the "they would need to sprout wings to catch him" phrase. His Breeders cup calls are awful, although he used to be very good on the after race commentary on the nbc telecasts...
