In complete agreement, but I think the call has gone out to Denman, also a very deserving choice.

[Seattleallstar]

Denman is also with NBC if im not mistaken, which could open the door with Dooley or Vic Stauffer

forget about Dooley for BC races, he is so annoying to me.
i don't know why people always name him like he's one of the best.
he's corny, nasally, and uses odd word groupings.

ZZZZZZzzzzz....huh, wha??

Maybe if Denman gets it he could do us all teh pleasure of breaking his rule and actually tell the crowd what the fractions are. Its the reason he has so much time to interject superlatives and adjectives as often as he does.
Dooley gets my vote. He hams it up in some of those races at Arlington but as bad as some of the fields are that he calls, I think I can understand why he does it. I think he would temper his sometimes too enthusiastic calls to complete profesionalism if given the nod at the Cup.

Excerpt from BH...

A source close to the Breeders' Cup said that Trevor Denman, the voice of Santa Anita Park and Del Mar in Southern California, was ESPN's first choice to replace Durkin. Denman, a native of South Africa, has served as an analyst on NBC's previous Breeders' Cup telecasts.

you guys can have him, it's not that he doesn't have energy, it's what he says, its just weird.

Maybe you should tune in to Oprah.

And please point out where I said that Mr. Dooly's calls were inaccurate. There'll be a Remedial Reading Comprehension forum on this site pretty soon ... please give serious consideration to enrolling in it.

I'm happy with Denman as the choice, he loves the game and the passion in his voice is unmistakable.

I'm totally looking forward to Trevor calling the BC. I hope he gets the contract!!!

Our devotion and wagers ... provide all the energy and drama we need.

Yes ... it can be taken as a "cut" ... if you don't understand what you read.

But to those who can understand ... it's clearly a generic commentary on the proper function of a race caller.
