Seriously? Durkin was rooting for Birdstone? F'ing retarded. Only race I have ever been to where 120k people could clearly hear the racecall for the last 100 yards of the race. It was that quiet.

Race callers have favorites. Was there ever a more emotional call than Durkin's in the 2009 Woodward. Thought the man was going to have a freakin' heart attack - as well as a lot of racing fans. I couldn't hear normally for about a week after.

 Anyone that knows anything about horseracing that watched that race would have known Durkin's voice sounded noticably dissapointed when Birdstone ran by Smarty Jones, and I do think this ties in with the theme of this thread. Obcourse Denman was rooting for Zenyatta, just as Durkin probably wanted to call a triple crown winner.

Sarcastic responses are sometimes prize winning veiled here at DT that it's extra hard to figure out when posts aren't quoted.
Still searching for cave.

Dude, three people in a row assumed that you were that big of an ass.
Like I said, it is your legacy--too late to run from it. You've earned it. PS: I don't play with emoticons. I have a dick and I am older than 12.

Would have really loved to hear Durkin call one of those races.
Paraphrased: And Zenyatta comes roaring off the turn, Blame takes the lead and draws clear. Lookin at Lucky weakening and Zenyatta, Mike Smith aboard attacks on the outside under a left hand whip, they're in the final furlong, Blame digs in, despeartely holding onto the lead, Zenyatta closing with one final acceleration......And Blame does it! If you have any doubt...Blame the winner.

Let's compare them. Durkin's Belmont
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4Z49x11smk Denman's Classic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Et15M6wsPo IMO one of them sounds like amateur hour.

Both races were extremely close races that easily lent themselves to possible fantastic race calls. I thought Denman did okay. Durkin hit it out of the park: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk8G8AR7TaM But hey, not everybody can be Tom Durkin. He's the best.
