 I fully agree with you on Becker, but donot think he would be interested in such a long term job as i believe he only wanted the Keeneland job before. Hope i am wrong. Like his style and calls alot , with no BS.

I once had a horseplayer say this to me. Vic, IMO you are the 2nd best announcer that ever lived. Wow that's high praise. I said. Just curious. Who do you think is best? He said it's a 13,848 way tie for first.

Glad you enjoyed. Didn't need to do much but tee it up for Tom and didn't expect it to go an hour, but it was impossible to stop once we got going.

Do know if it topped the Bobby Frankel tribute show but it was definitely in the top 3. A great hour of radio!

Michael Wrona's job calling the Santa Rosa meet ? or am I mistaken ?  BTW PB you are right in correcting my post - sorry

I haven't called at Santa Rosa, that's Wrona's gig. And pretty sure Stauffer would have zero interest in taking my job in West Virginia.

Vic Stauffer or Frank Mirahmadi would be great to have as a successor to Tom Durkin

Sorry to go off topic, all, on the great Tom Durkins thread. Hard to believe that as he progressed in his career that he wanted to be PHIL GEORGEFF. The voice of Chicago racing way back. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Georgeff Here's a sample of his craft, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdU6A...69962C054E064C Wikipedia says that he lives in Alabama now, would be great to hear him on ATR.

Like someone said earlier, Durkin could call the phone book and make it sound exciting. Going to truly miss him, the best ever.
I would love to see Dooley get the gig.

It's been said that some of the most reflective moments occur when driving alone. Now I've never met Tom. But when I'm on the road and listening to live racing on XM and they switch over to Tom Durkin with the call, I feel like I'm sitting there with a very good friend, and in my experience the best race caller ever.
