there is no right or wrong answer, Durkin is the best of all time, in my opinion, yet VJS' Cesario call is my all time favorite. That being said Robert Gellar is one of my favorite, and he is a far different style than vic or durkin.

there are many amazing announcers here and abroad

But Durkin's call was almost as great as Rachel's performance!!! He was brilliant yesterday

Hey, if none of the horses NEED TO SPROUT WINGS, I'm calling it good.

Seriously, Durkin stepped up big with a great call of a super effort by RA.

On big race days Tom Durkin is the best racecaller we have.

I think one of my favorite Durkin calls is "Man oh Mandela, what a day!"

That's why the Breeders' Cup isn't the same without him.
