I think you both need your heads examined if you think Mike Smith lost that race.

Please. Durkin had to call the '90 Distaff--talk about having to deal with emotion. Get some perspective. It is no tragedy to lose a race.

When the horse you are shilling loses, just deal with it like a pro. His "Baaah-layyy-mmmmm!" call is a never ending source of amusement with me and my friends whenever it comes up. Pathetic.

Well, you were right in that we both need our heads examined. No question there.

Had to go to a hypnotist to deal with Anxiety. I couldn't tell with his calm cool demeanor in his Race Calls

This was tweeted by Mark Hennig of Tom Durkin on the Match Game in 1979. It is kind of funny what word trips up Durkin at the end.

Here was a fun little story I did asking a bunch of announcers their favorite Tom Durkin calls/memories. Some cool stories!

Many years back, I met Tom Durkin and said two words : Speedy Gonzales.

His response was classic. Tom said, "Everyone knows the right answer is Pancho Gonzales".

We both laughed and everyone else was dumb-founded.

That hilarious. Here's Part One of his Match Game. He comes across as so sweet and nervous!
