Blatantly biased? You bet.
I know there's another thread but I thought his admission that he was literally cheering for her was a little much.
"In only two races in my history have I been blatantly biased," Denman said Tuesday from his farm in Minnesota. "[ Bill] Shoemaker's last ride, in that race I said, 'Come on Shoe,' because I wanted him to win so bad, he ran fourth but at the eighth pole he could have won it and, literally, I said, 'Come on Shoe,' and then Saturday. I wanted so badly for Zenyatta to win. "You have to have sagacity and say, 'This occasion is different and I have to be different.' I have to admit, I almost said, 'Come on,' right before Blame and Zenyatta hit the wire. I think you can hear exasperation in my voice, at the end. I was deflated when I said, 'Blame has won it.'

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.
