Book Signing with Tom Durkin at Impressions of Saratoga

About this event

Tom will be sharing stories of his life’s journey to becoming the voice of some of the greatest thoroughbred races in history and signing his new life story “A Life’s Calling.”

“In A Life's Calling: The Voice Behind the World's Greatest Horse Races, Tom Durkin, alongside longtime turf writers Paul Volponi and Lenny Shulman, shares his fascinating story. Readers will revel in his tales of life in the backwater stops of the Midwest learning horse racing among rickety grandstands and local hustlers, and of the day when he called the first Breeders' Cup and ended up at an after-party surrounded by Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, and Cary Grant. Durkin also candidly recounts how the pressure to describe each race with flawless accuracy became too much, leading him to step away from the spotlight while still at his prime.” (From the google book listing.)

Please join us in celebrating this wonderful and witty man as he enters this new phase of his life!
