40 Days of Durkin: Friday, August 15, 2014

In honor of Tom Durkin’s retirement from race calling on August 31, we are taking a look back at 40 of his most memorable calls–one for each day of the 2014 Saratoga meet.

Tom Durkin never passes up the opportunity to have fun with an entertaining horse name.  So it was no surprise that he had a plan for a 2008 Saratoga turf sprint which featured the second choice, Ohnoitsmymothernlaw.

His deflated tone announcing the horse cross the wire has made this call famous, but don’t overlook his brilliant one liner just before.

“Ohnoitsmymothernlaw won’t go away!”
