It may not be a race as important as the Triple Crown or Breeders Cup Classic, but honorable mention at least HAS to go to Durkin's call of the 2002 Test Stakes between You and Carson Hollow.

That was a hell of a race, and Tom really did it justice!

Trever Denman's best call is the 93 beverly hills with Flawlessly and Jolypha.

I also liked the 93 hollywood gold cup with betrando and best pal. Look at that field!

I thought Tom's call of last year's Woodward was tremendous. His line as they were readying to turn for home " a dramatic stretch drive awaits " was spectacular.
