What? MY high horse? I totally acknowledged anyone's right to the MUTE button. There's plenty of places to howl at the moon and scream vituperations.

Why bust into a salient conversation with crap?

Be patient. DMFF could be coming back.

Till then. Thanks for listening!

Every time I delude myself into thinking I can re-expand my contributions on these forums words like yours pop up and I'm forced back into just reading.

I wish that wasn't the case.

I haven't called a race since Dec. 22 2013.

You don't see me referee and most of the time I'm the Safety Steward.

Wouldn't it be more fun to pick on someone else?

Vic, FWIW I miss your race calls. You brought great passion and fun to the races. What other caller has used the word "chillax" during a race call to fulfill a fan's request?

Some people asked about my reffing schedule. It's something I truly enjoy and like sharing it with others. What has that got to do with you or anybody else having respect for my opinion?

C'mon man. There are plenty of people to annoy. Why me?

[olddaddy]

Vic, That was a nice schedule. I obviously never called races but looking at your schedule reminds me that was the most fun "job" I ever had. Keep enjoying it while you can.

Yeah. Season ends this week. Got up to Varsity Girls last few weeks. Pretty proud of that since it's only my 3rd year in this association.

Going to a 3-man camp this summer with high hopes of doing Varsity Boys next year.

Baseball starts in 3 weeks.

I was in it for 4 years and never got above girls jv, then had to demote myself back to grade school till the old bones finally gave out. Always wanted to ump but the job that put food on table kicked in when the weather got better. Hope to hear you get varsity boys next year.

How many people do you think heard that call? Bear in mind, it wasn't on ABC, and the people at the track didn't hear it because they were screaming.

2. The fact that the people at the track are screaming and can't hear the call is PRECISELY the point. If announcing were so integral to making the race exciting, why would a live crowd scream at a race where they can't hear the announcer?

Obviously, all those people watching those races I named and screaming and yelling didn't need Tom Durkin one bit. Indeed, they would not have even noticed if his microphone went out. So how can anyone possibly say announcing is integral.

It's precisely the opposite. Announcing is superfluous when you have a great race. The crowd screams, they know what they are seeing, and the announcer isn't even heard except by television viewers (and they may be hearing a different announcer).

I wrote TC races, not specifically TC attempts. And Durkn didn't call the Victory Gallop races live on National TV? Dave Johnson still had that back then?

Funny, but I bet nobody remembers that call...wonder why

I actually watched the Smarty Jones Belmont early today and then watched the Victory Gallop race, had to click 5 different videos to find the one with Durkin announcing it. Johnson did it for ABC

Now, I don't agree with everything he says or ideas he thinks up but, he is blunt. Maybe, he just needs to tone it down a bit at times. And, the time he started writing in third person was a little too much even for me but, I still enjoyed it.

He's like a brick wall. Try to put something that sticks and it'll just deflect it right off. I just give up and say, hey, these announcers must love the ignore lists on some of these forums. MY WORD :o

It feels fast. But certainly doesn't look it.
