As somebody who likes to watch TVG 2 (Now FanDuel Racing) while working around the house, I will miss Tom Durkin....definitely one of the best ever. Btw, in the second race on the video, I appreciate the Mel Brooks reference, too (It's Good to Be King...a running gag from History of the World, Pt. 1)
0:53: Coming towards the top of the stretch. Hepcat the leader. Hepcat in front, but here’s stand pat, stand pat up to challenge for that lead as the field turns for home. Maps hope on the outside runs in third, then down towards the inside it’s felinefelon fourth. In the middle of the track is *ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!* Coming down to the final sixteenth it is stand pat in front. *ARRRRRRGH!* *ARRRRRRGH!* *ARRRRRRRRGH!* in front coming down to the wire! They’re coming to the finish, and it’s all *ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!* felinefelon second, stand pat third. *ahoy ye maties*
Announcers like Tom Durkin are nothing short of awesome. He's got to know the name of every horse in the race, the jockey riding him, and the color of the jockey's silks. And then be able to call the race in real time. Then, as soon as the race is over, he's got to forget this group of horses and do the same thing with another group of horses, jockeys and silks. And do that for anywhere between 8 and 12 races a day (depending on the track).
This is the NYRA broadcast. NYRA doesn't have it's own TV channel, therefore they typically have their broadcasts picked up by local spectator sports programing channels during the day. Also, TVG will pickup the call from post-to-wire, but don't usually use the NYRA audio during post parade nor after the finish.
Really this race is just all ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRŔRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH! Felinefelon second, Stand pat third. My throat hurts!
If this happened at Royal Ascot Her Majesty would not! be amused ....imagine this caper at Wolverhampton on a Monday with Mike Cattermole commentating or perhaps more suitably Derek Thomson, Thommo could do it full justice ....
Arrrr retired in 2010 but for you standardbred lovers, there's a horse named Mmmmmh competing at Fraser Downs.
