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.

I do know that Durkin wouldn't have been screaming "Zenyatta" 806 times in the last 1/4 mile if he were calling the race. That alone is enough to make him superior to Denman.

Total aside, but talk about a horse who earned respect in defeat - that was Smarty Jones.

Yeah. His responsibilities as the newly selected GOUT poster boy are taking time away from his ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRing.

Not to say the stumbling, bumbling, MUMBLING low-talker, Denman, is any better.

Get an accurate system in place and you can PERMANENTLY replace these IDIOTS with chicklets.

If all race callers could be like Grunder, the world would be a better place.

How about having the jockeys wired up and have them each call their horse, in order of current running position, first to last?

Someone would be in charge of switching the audio from jock to jock and provide each jock with a little electrical shock to get them to say where they are and how they are doing.
