It sucks that Durkin was signed exclusively to NBC so he couldn't do these races. Denman, is a great race caller, but I hate him for big races. There's no enthusiasm... I mean at least the tone of his voice barely changes.

Durkin is awesome at capturing the moment and giving it the proper enthusiasm and tone of voice needed. In the '01 B.C. Classic, I couldn't imagine if Denman was calling that race instead (the Tiznow-Sakhee duel to the finish).

But... Who would I take instead. The Arlington guy seems like a good choice, but what about Vic Stauffer? He's pretty good doing Hollywood/Gulfstream races. I DON'T WANT THIS TO SEEM LIKE I'M BASHING DENMAN, BUT FOR BIG RACES, HE PUTS ME TO SLEEP.
