Do you remember any part(s) of it?

Mine went something like this...

"Rakti! He's pulling like a train, refusing to settle...

He's pulled all the way, but he's STILL running strongly...

Galloping on...

HE'S GOT THE POWER..... and WINS the Prince of Wales's Stakes in great style..."

Be still, my heart.

Durkin's call in the 2003 Breeders Cup Turf between High Chapparal, Johar, and Falbrav. An absolute thrilling finish with an awesome call.

I really liked Durkin's 04 Preakness call.

First what the **** was Mike Smith doing on Lion Heart??????? Totally forgot he was the rider.

"...Lion Heart is loose on the lead down the backstretch run..."

"...and Rock Hard Ten is uncoiling that massive stride of his..."

"...SMARTY JONES HAS TAKEN THE LEAD!!!..."

"...AND IT'S SMART JONES, HE'S PULLING AWAY! HE'S PULLING AWAY TO WIN IMPRESSIVELY HERE! .... HE'S GOING TO WIN BY A COLOSSAL MARGIN. HERE IS SMARTY JONES. HE WINS THE PREAKNESS BY A DOZEN LENGTHS. HE REMAINS UNDEFEATED AND ITS ON TO BELMONT!!!..."

"...THIS IS SPECIAL!!!"

That Japaneese race where the horse went last to first in the final 1/8th.


Also, Secretariat's Belmont and Cigar's BC Classic.

The unbeatabel, the unconquorable, Cigar" ( I know I messed those up)

The best call I ever heard, and probably will ever hear was Tom Durkin's call of the Travers when Deputy Commander and Behrens hooked up.
Chris McCarron IMMMPLLOOOOORRRRRIIINNNNNG Deputy Commander for one more furlong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris and Deputy held on, the day after Chris's mom had passed away. He returned to winners circle with tears running down his face to an applause from the fans that is usually only given to very special horses. In this case, the applause was for McCarron.
