In thinking back over Tom Durkin's complete 43 year career, the light bulb went off with another name from the New York area - Sam McKee.

Durkin moved from the Meadowlands and it would seem that Sam McKee has both the respect and capability to be a multiple decades long voice for NYRA.

So, three names now in play in my mind : Stauffer, Collmus, and McKee - all with excellent credentials to hold the post.

Stauffer is a great steward and should not give it up.
Collmus just signed with CD,but do think he wanted NY, didn't know.
Mckee is a good race caller and he never came to mind for Tbreds, but think his heart is with the Sbreds.
