I thought Denman did an okay job, Street Sense notwithstanding. I like that he frequently gives the jockey silks colors during the races-- it makes it easier to quickly find who he's talking about. I like Durkin best because I think no one calls races with as much dramatic flair as he, but I was fine with the calling yesterday.
I just came back from 45 minutes of watching the New York Marathon, trying to spot my two friends running in it, and boy, do I have a raging headache now. Fortunately they saw me! Yet another reason I could never have been a race caller... I can't find my friends who are running barely six miles an hour, coming straight at me!
