Unless Tom Durkin is back calling races at NYRA in his prime, announcers don't mean much of anything to me...at all...period
Durkin was the best of the best IMO...haven't seen anyone else who could touch him with a ten foot pole...so...it doesn't really matter to me who is calling races at NYRA.
Johnny I, in my opinion, doesn't make or break anything for me. He's been with NYRA FOREVER...and I mean forever...so good for him...glad NYRA is giving him the chance to be the top dog at the top meet these past couple of seasons.
He deserves it for his loyalty all these years.
And again, IMO, he's good enough and doesn't deserve some of the comments in this thread.
Especially considering there is no Tom Durkin out there who could replace him.
