Favorite race call of all time

[ddthetide]

Secratariat's Belmont race, that i watched on tv live. and
this past january and february at Oaklawn. the first to races of this year for BRILLIANT! the announcer called all of both race like the beer commercial and BRILLIANT! won both races. i sat here at the computer and laughed through both races.

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

[1st_Saturday_in_May]

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.

yes those are the two best. " He's moving like a tremenous machine, secretariat by 8 secretariat by 10"

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.

Da Hoss's second BC Mile win stretch call was awesome. "Da Hoss comes back!"

Durkin "Here comes Personal Ensign"

Durkin "Here comes Personal Ensign"

Anderson: "Pincay hits Sham with a left handed whip and Ronnie Turcotte has his whip put away and Secretariat has him [Sham] put away"

[jballscalls]

ditto on Durkin and Personal Ensign.

The call that made me start practicing race-calling:

"Melhor Ainda might get into second, But NO WAY, does she catch the winner, the Japanese superstar, CESARIO!!!!!"----vic stauffer
