TOM DURKIN CALLS THE 2017 KENTUCKY DERBY TWO DAYS BEFORE IT WAS RUN

Tom Durkin was an exceptional race announcer.  However, as good as he was, calling a race before it was run was not his usual method of operation.  Until now.

Click below and watch him call the 2017 Kentucky Derby on the night of May 4, two nights before it was run.  Durkin had an interest in one horse, Always Dreaming, in that he owns a percentage of the colt via the West Point Thoroughbreds syndicate.

(Thanks to Bill Hirsch for sending Durkin’s call to HRB.)

Legendary track announcer Tom Durkin and part owner of Always Dreaming (with West Point Thoroughbreds) gives his vision of the Kentucky Derby stretch run. NOTE: He did this 2 nights BEFORE the Derby. Amazing!
