Why You have to Love Tom Durkin
 

Race 3 on Friday, August 5th, Tom precisely calling each horse,
and then calls Bubblegum, (in his baritone voice), "stuck to the rail".

Yes, he hedges on photos, does make some errors on calls,
but he is an impossible act to follow..

Durkin
 

Who the stumble-bumbler? c'mon Did you here the 6th race call? He kept referring to Hook and Lateral as "Hook and Ladder"
He seems quite loss at times to me

Fortunately his command of the English language still far exceeds yours.

Durkin isn't perfect, but he's still the best in my book.

It does? How So? You NO NOTHING ABOUT ME OR MY EDUCATION JACKASS!

agreed

Asses! I "here" I rubbed a nerve. I am quite a loss what to say. 5th grade?

You didnt rub a nerve-I dont argue with idiots, theres no way to win

You think Durkin is a god, good for you I think he is a washed up track announcer

Now go crawl under your rock for the rest of Saratoga meet

4th grade?

The word would be 'know' not 'no'...so maybe we do have some insight into your educationness.

Don't forget "loss" instead of "lost".

Still too high.

OK, so when he makes a good call we can start threads, but when he screws up we can't.

Got it.

This is quite interesting to know though. Typed "Awww!" and iPad turned it into "Asses!" Maybe it is magic like they say in the commercials. Got to be wary of that auto correct feature when I'm communicating with someone worth my while.

I like Durkin. His voice is clear and understandable and he can be entertaining. I watch the races with my own eyes so if he screws up a call here and there I couldn't care any less. If I were listening to him on the radio that might be a problem but clearly that's not the case.
