No, they didn't want it " souped up. " I imagine the two inches of rain we got Friday, in about 15 minutes, had something to do with that.

You really should know better.

As should Tom Durkin when, despite the circumstances, he starts screaming about Rachel setting a stakes record.

Its been like that for a decade, I think he is trying to one up Vic.

Embarassing? I don't really see that. Poor Tom can't get any love. I thought it was a great call.

You know, I **** with Vic Stauffer whenever I get a chance to on this forum

but compared to VS, Durkin not only comes across as a DOOFUS in his calls but a clueless one at that. He must really believe that his audience is less knowledgeable than even he is when it comes to races.

I'm at the point where I actually miss Marshall Cassidy, the ultimate DOOFUS race caller. And, if Imbriale would time the start a little better (he's on internet start time) I might want him as the 1st string NY race caller.

Definitely time for Durkin to hang it up. Maybe we can get Arrrrrrrrrrrrrr to run up at Sar and send Durkin out in style.

Cassidy was great. You had to love how in a sprint race, they would be crossing the finish line and he'd be saying "they're off". Seriously, I thought he was the second best I've ever heard behind Denman.
