yeah, he added nothing to that race.
Could you imagine "name another Joe Shmo' announcer making that call?
It would DEFINATELY take away from the moment

There were probably 70,000 people at Belmont Park that day. They were all screaming. Do you think one of them heard Durkin's call?
Indeed, I doubt more than 100 people heard Durkin's call when it was made. Most of America heard Dave Johnson on ABC, remember.
That call was purely for people watching the replay later.
