Breeders' Cup
Denman is the current voice of the Breeders' Cup, aired now on ESPN instead of its original 'home' NBC Sports, for the first 22 years. He replaced Tom Durkin who had been the race caller since the inception.
During the 2009 Breeders' Cup Classic Trevor Denman made perhaps his most famous call when undefeated Zenyatta came from behind to win the race. After running last throughout most of the race, Denman called "Zenyatta has a lot, a lot of ground to make up.... If she wins this she will be a super horse". When the race made its final turn Denman delivered his famous call as Zenyatta took the lead. "Zenyatta's come to the outside. Zenyatta coming, flying on the grandstand side... THIS, IS, UN-BELIEVABLE!"

Famous quotes containing the word cup:
“Sunday morning may be cheery enough, with its extra cup of coffee and litter of Sunday newspapers, but there is always hanging over it the ominous threat of 3 P.M., when the sun gets around to the back windows and life stops dead in its tracks.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
