Guys like Durkin and Denman had extensive careers and got several opportunities for memorable calls, but my favorite of all time is definitely Luke Krytbosch who died suddenly of a heart attack in his 40s just a few years after assuming the Churchill Downs job. A real shame because he definitely would have had a hall of fame career as well.

It is beyond me as well as to how Larry Collmus has one of the most prestigious race calling jobs in the industry. EVERY comment I see posted about him on social media is negative and it's incredible how numb to reality NYRA officials are. Sure, the guy could have a job at Sam Houston Park or whatever and not saying he doesn't belong in the industry, but he detracts from the experience at the major tracks.
