Can it be done

[melman]

To answer my own question---I don't know. However I think that a lot of people would love to see tonight's Meadowlands "pre-game show". They had a great interview with Tom Durkin. As a youngster Durkin said he always wanted to be Phil Georgette. :) BE him not sound like him. I was surprised when Ken Warkentin asked him what was the most exciting race call he had ever made. He said many great races but the one that he remembers most was the dead heat between Probe and Park Ave Joe in the Hambo. If anyone can provide a link to that interview I think it would get a lot of viewers. And yes Durkin did call many a harness race at the Meadowlands.

Hey mel,
Here's a link to the Meadowlands YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/MeadowlandsRacetrack) page, whether the Durkin video will be added is to be seen.

Many reps of that facility read here, thus requests from other posters may encourage them to add.

I do agree that it was a nice interview with Durkin and I was surprised by his Probe-Park Avenue favorite as well.

Thanks Oskar, I've seen that race many times. My two favorite race callers Tom Durkin and Larry Lederman. Durkin the greatest at big event races, Lederman at making the average overnight races fun and interesting.

The Tom Durkin interview is up, under You Tube video at the bottom of the page. Called "In the Sulky"
