There are some good options out there (and some bad ones) but for me personally - no matter the choice - it just won't be the same without Tom Durkin. On racing's biggest days, he's the best. My favorite one of his TC calls was probably the '03 Derby, but there have been a lot of good ones over the years (the '04 and '09 Preakness and the '98, and '07 Belmonts come immediately to mind). I hate to see him step down.
The BC certainly hasn't been the same without him, and even if NBC selects a better replacement for the TC than ESPN did for the BC (let's hope) I imagine I'll still miss Durkin when the gates open.
