Yesterday during the first couple of races his voice was really raspy and faint. Then John Imbriale took over the rest of the day. I see he's not back today - anyone know if it's serious?
With Imbriale calling the races, now I have to watch with the sound off. He is rapidly approaching Mike Battaglia caliber!

so even one of durkins biggest backers sees he's barely hanging on..,.........and has been for years. I hope he is ok, but he needs to go as soon as possible.

yes I have. but I didn't try to perform a job that required that voice when I had that problem. I had more common sense then that. maybe he just didn't know any better? alzheimers would explain that.
time to go!!

Apparently Tom Durkin has gotten over his sore throat and is back in the announcer's booth.

Hmmm, the mens room on the first floor of the clubhouse (off the main lobby) has only two stalls. Really, no joke!
He's doing fine today. And he's still better than about 80% or more of the guys out there.

Hate to bring this up again, but Durkin hasn't called the races at Belmont Park since Wednesday. Wonder if he's ill again?
I watched a couple of races on Friday with John Imbecile calling, he is absolutely horrible, worse even than Mike Battaglia, if you can believe that. I just can't watch Belmont when he's calling. Just watched the first today, Durkin's still missing. That's it for me today.
