    The only thing to criticize Durkin about is not name-checking Mine That Bird 2 seconds sooner. The horse charged the rail from way back, eased briefly alongside the leader and then eased into a widening lead -- which was when he should've called MTB. But to say he yelled about the wrong horse is wrong. Of course he called Pioneerof the Nile before MTB -- Poineerof the Nile actually had a shot of winning the damn race. This Mine That Bird thing makes Buster Douglas look like Joe Louis.

    Yeah, that was a lousy call, but I wonder if he has the production truck in his ear at all, because if he did, then it's not just on him- someone had to be asking themselves "Who just took the lead, and wasn't he way the hell out of it by the first turn?"
    This video was actually my first look at the whole race, and man, that's a nice run.

    I also found it distasteful when Tom Durkin criticized Sarah Jessica Parker for her skimpy wardrobe. He should focus on how well she gallops, not on what she's wearing.

    I've watched that clip a couple of times now and I swear Borrel looks back at the pack before he crosses the finish line. Live, it looked almost like he was taunting the rest of the field. I should have saved the race in HD on my DVR at home for proper Zapruder-like analysis.

    I think Durkin went way over the line when he said, "Look at that monkey gallop."

    Yeah, I probably shouldn't have said that.

    You can't be surprised about Tom Durkin ignoring Borrel.


    I mean, after all, his daughter Susie is Calvin's mortal enemy.

    For those who think that jockeys have no part in how a horse performs

    I think this shows how Jockeys perform too

    Tom Durkin is racist; he thinks all the brown horses look the same.

    Judging by that interview, Bennie Woolley Jr.'s first rule of 21-hour Kentucky Derby drives is you do not talk about 21-hour Kentucky Derby drives.
