Checking In With Durkin: Revered Race Caller Chats Belmont Stakes at Saratoga, Favorite Calls, and More

Saratoga Springs, N.Y., resident Tom Durkin is widely viewed as one of the finest race callers of all time. His excellence was recognized with the Eclipse Award of Merit in 2015, one year after he retired.
