Don't be ambiguous--no one is ever going to give the likes of you the benefit of the doubt. That's your legacy.

To whom were you referring? Me?

I wasn't calling you anything. I was just asking a question.

Just forget it. I shall drag my knuckles back to my cave.

Off to find my cave.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to my post, because he wasn't clever enough to understand it was meant to be read with sarcasm, even with the usage of Anyone that knows anything about horseracing that watched that race would have known Durkin's voice sounded noticably dissapointed when Birdstone ran by Smarty Jones, and I do think this ties in with the theme of this thread. Obcourse Denman was rooting for Zenyatta, just as Durkin probably wanted to call a triple crown winner.

Sarcastic responses are sometimes prize winning veiled here at DT that it's extra hard to figure out when posts aren't quoted.

Still searching for cave.

Every post on derbytrail should be read with sarcasm, it's the modest operandi of many that post here.

Dude, three people in a row assumed that you were that big of an ass.

Like I said, it is your legacy--too late to run from it. You've earned it.

Maybe in your grandmother's day they didn't have a flea remedy. They do now. Just sayin'....

All in all, I think you're a pretty sharp poster. I really like your description of Zenyatta's racing style.

Would have really loved to hear Durkin call one of those races.

Paraphrased:

And Zenyatta comes roaring off the turn, Blame takes the lead and draws clear. Lookin at Lucky weakening and Zenyatta, Mike Smith aboard attacks on the outside under a left hand whip, they're in the final furlong, Blame digs in, despeartely holding onto the lead, Zenyatta closing with one final acceleration......And Blame does it! If you have any doubt...Blame the winner.

I do know that Durkin wouldn't have been screaming "Zenyatta" 806 times in the last 1/4 mile if he were calling the race. That alone is enough to make him superior to Denman.

Yeah. His responsibilities as the newly selected GOUT poster boy are taking time away from his ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRing.

Not to say the stumbling, bumbling, MUMBLING low-talker, Denman, is any better.

Get an accurate system in place and you can PERMANENTLY replace these IDIOTS with chicklets.

If all race callers could be like Grunder, the world would be a better place.

Let's compare them. Durkin's Belmont

Denman's Classic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Et15M6wsPo


IMO one of them sounds like amateur hour.
