No Durkin for BC races

[ArlJim78]

I'm not so sure anymore. Did you catch that Mountaineer race that Johnson did a few weeks back? Whew, was he lost, at no point did he have a firm grasp of which horses were racing.

Oh yeah, but think about Battaglia doing the BC day! what a hoot
"Gaining ground!!"

All I can say is THANK THE LORD. I cant stand Durkin. He was calling Kongs Revenge as KINGS Revenge. He needs to go away.

he sounded like his three martini lunch turned into about 12...i didn't even realize it was him til later! sounded like a rank amateur.

Please no Dave Johnson. I'd rather have Stevie Wonder call the races and for those that don't know, Stevie can't see.

I'd vote to let Luke call them and let him have some TV exposure. He'll already be calling them ontrack and he does a good job.

this is a damn outrage. In any case I hope John G DOOLEY gets the mount for the BC announcing

Hey ... we don't need a track announcer to give us energy and drama ...

... we just need him to give an accurate call.

Our devotion and wagers ... provide all the energy and drama we need.

If Dave Johnson is calling it, you'll get a better bearing on what is going on if you mute the TV and call the race yourself. I've never heard a worse stakes call than that guys West Virginia Derby.

In complete agreement, but I think the call has gone out to Denman, also a very deserving choice.

[Seattleallstar]

Denman is also with NBC if im not mistaken, which could open the door with Dooley or Vic Stauffer

[ArlJim78]

forget about Dooley for BC races, he is so annoying to me.
i don't know why people always name him like he's one of the best.
he's corny, nasally, and uses odd word groupings.
