Durkin vs Denman
Both of them i feel are great announcers and i enjoy listening to both of them.My feeling after today is that on a national stage like today Durkin gets the edge.This is not a knock on Trevor Denman,but he seemed to call the races like he was calling a regular card in California rather than on racings elite day.Your opinions and criticism are appreciated.

Denman is my favorite but I do think Durkin does better on a national stage.

Denman wasnt very strong at all today. Cant believe he missed Street Sense until he was a half dozen lengths clear. Was too emphatuated with Circular Quay...

Ithought Denman was horrendous.
Nothing in his calls stood out in my mind,you barely knew he was there. The Churchill regular caller was more exciting calling Tiz Wonderful's race than what Denman gave today. I thought I saw a jockey flip off a horse in the Distaff and Denman never once in the call mentioned that Pine Island had gone down. Awful, awful job.

I agree on both counts here. Totally missing Street Sense was inexcusable and not even mentioning Pine Island was wrong.

It did bother me that Trevor missed Street Sense. But I think u need to keep in mind that this was his first time on the national stage like this. Durkin was at it for over 20 years. How was his first BC compared to when he was a BC vet? I would imagine it's got to be pretty hard to go from calling 4-5 horse races like they normally have in CA to calling 14 horses in these races. Overall, I thought Trevor was fine and he'll only be better next year.

Been saying all along how terrible he is, and now many of you can it see as well.
In addition to the things already mentioned, let's not forget his routine mispronunciations (Mystique's Approval and Ba-LEE-toe). The dude sucks, period.

Denman is great but his calls today wasn't a standout. Just like any other race he calls. The louder his voice gets the fainter weaker it becomes. Durkin on the other hand has loud and deeper voice which suits for BC.
Even if Durkin is under contract with NBC, I think Vic Stauffer would have suited perfectly for Breeders Cup today.
