Announcer Durkin won't call Breeders Cup races

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) -- Tom Durkin, the best-known track
announcer in the U-S, today said he will no longer call the
Breeders Cup Championship races, which he has covered since the
event began in 1984.
Because of contractual commitments with N-B-C, Durkin is not
available to any other network.
E-S-P-N takes over coverage of the Breeders Cup this year.
Durkin said he will continue to work as an announcer for all of
N-B-C's racing programming, including the Kentucky Derby and
Preakness.
