Four weeks to go until Tom Durkin retires from NYRA. One of the best ever, he will be greatly missed, at least by me.

Add me to what is sure to be a very long list.  He is/was the best of the past 2+ decades.  Seemed like a nice man too.  Hope he has a wonderful retirement.

I\'ll never forget his call \"Hannibal Lechter just ate up this field\".  Great announcer!!!

He\'s not gone quite yet, but all of this is making me reminiscent what all of us will be missing. Simply the best!
