Tom Durkin's Legacy Celebrated at Saratoga

Legendary horse race caller Tom Durkin, whose voice brought millions to the biggest races for four decades, just released his memoir “The Life’s Calling.” The book chronicles his storied career—including 24 Belmont Stakes—and was celebrated in a heartwarming surprise at Saratoga Central Catholic, where his students flooded the room to honor him. Durkin joked he needed a cardiologist on hand—clearly moved by the gesture. It’s a touching reminder of his lasting impact, both in the sport and in his community. The book’s available online and at local shops in Saratoga and the National Museum of Racing. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
