Tom Durkin is absolutely hands down the greatest commentator i have ever heard, i could listen to that all day.

thank you for amazing videos that were moments in my life.

So which one won?

My best friend and I gave ourselves a college graduation present and flew to LA for our first Breeders Cup... and we got to see this race!!! I've been to many sporting events with larger crowds, but the roar down the stretch for that race was as loud as anything I've ever heard.

Damn shame what was allowed to happen to Ferdinand in Japan!! Whoever made that decision should be strung up on a flag pole somewhere. Why the farm where Ferdinand was standing stud didn't offer to send him back to America, and let him at least be retired to the Kentucky Horse Park is beyond me?? A horse that won both the Kentucky Derby and Breeders Cup Classic certainly deserved a far better fate than dying in a Japanese slaughter house!! TJMO.

@porkrollboy Judge Angelucci was also trained by Charlie Whittingham; named for a Kentucky circuit judge, as I recall. Made 1.5 million in 22 starts; mostly in California, save 2 allowance races at Keeneland and one Longacres Mile in '87. A wonderful horse, but was always behind the division leaders at the time, Ferdinand and Alysheba

@SouthlandKing ...hmmm...Vic Stauffer is really, really good..He is climbing my list.
Durkin, Johnson, Stauffer, Hensen, Denman....all close

@porkrollboy He was a great horse. Shoemaker rode him on the regular. In all the stakes races at Santa Anita he was a work horse
Tom Durkin is hands down the greatest announcer of all time.
