Compare Vic's calls, where he picks up the horses early, to Durkin's call of the Suburban, where the latter mentions just about every horse but the winner in the stretch run, and only calls that one's name at the wire. Now, that's 'court vision'.

But he Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrr's real good.

No one thinks Durkin is any good now of days, do they?

So all the representatives of racing are clearly not treated equally. And there are posters on here that absolutely delight in denigrating posters who have jobs that are well known while they can remain anonymous. This is pure and simple yellow chicken residue.

Which is why I posted.
Bottom line is Steve has to try and diffuse many childish conflicts on a site he intended for enjoyment among horse racing fans. Even if some posters revel in conflict, and it is obviously quite entertaing to some of the posters who would have enjoyed a good day in a Roman stadium.
