Yep, Arrrrr has finished 1st for the first time this year... he has four races under his belt with a 1-1-0 record. 50% in the money, lets hope he can pull more finishes!

Arrrrr won again today (Philly Park) & once again he has a new owner. Hopefully he'll come back to NY soon!

What a cool name for a horse. My other favorite name is the gone, BUT NOT forgotten, Egghead-I really liked Egghead. Broke my heart when he died.

Love the ARRRR call, made me laugh a whole bunch. Did anyone hear Tom's call of the Tipparary race ealier this year? This horse Tipparary broke slow. Tom called all the horses positions while Tipparay was loping along far behind. When he finally got to the last horse he said " and it's a long way back to Tipparary" and we nearly fell off the couch laughing as we saw this coming...

The funniest thing about it is that he goes right back into normal mode after the wire----"ARRRRRRRRRRRRR" (silence for about 2 seconds) "wins by 2". Great stuff.

Adam, after reading your blog yesterday I watched the race at work after the boss left and I swear I almost fell out of my seat!! most hilarious call of all time. Then I went home and played it for my wife and we just sat there and cried it was so funny!!!

That is hilarious. Cracks me up everytime Durkin says it. Keep them coming. Glad you are keeping up with him. Durkin should have to call every race he ever runs.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

Billy, I am super jealous of you and am thrilled Arrrrr is getting fan support. He tries so hard.

Thanks to everyone else and their fun comments! If you have facebook, there is a an Arrrrr Athlete page you can become a fan of.

Great name! I looked up his pedigree when I first saw it appear in a race chart, but was disappointed there was no "pirate" connection. I too hope he keeps winning, and wish him nothing but the best.

Billy — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 12:00:54 GMT

Let me tell you, I was at the Spa for the Alabama & for this race, and it was special! The whole crowd was yelling ARRRRR as he came down the stretch-Durkin is a treasure! Standing O and a rousing yell of ARRRR at the winner's circle!

I had TVG on yesterday and I was just getting ready to leave the house when I heard Arrr anounced in the post parade at Saratoga. Who cares if I'm late for the party...I gotta watch and was not disappointed. Love the call and thanks to this blog Arrrr has another fan. Truth be told he is turning out to be quite the grinder, whats not to like!

I couldn't wait for this race to come on, I sat in the same position the whole race, I was so wanting Arrrrr to win ,and when he did I was screaming "Yes Yes,allright Arrrrr" And Tom's call was twice as good as last time , He makes the races so fun to watch.

I don't know how Durkin can make it through the race call, I'm laughing so hard I cried! Years ago there was We Be Jammin' Mon, which was pretty fun, bur Arrrr is the best. Now I have to go to YouTube to find Doremifasolatido.

In case it wasn't otherwise noted - Arrrrr was claimed away from his connections today. AHe was claimed by Arroyo Enrique, Gumpster Stable LLC.

Hopefully they'll continue to run him on NYRA tracks for Durkin to call.

watched the race on TVG - was rooting for him the whole time. I've always loved this horse and Mr. Durkins call was awesome - almost as good as Doremefasolatido!! (for those of you who watch TVG you know what I'm talking about)

I love Tom Durkins calls on this horse. My boyfriend thinks i'm crazy because I laugh so hard when i watch the video's of the race. Just so people know there are three Arr and one of doreamefasolateado on youtube. Go check it out they are all to funny. If anyone finds some more funny ones let me know. And thanks Tom for the great laughs.
