Trevor Denman, an iconic race caller, announced his retirement after more than 40 years of calling races at Del Mar and Santa Anita. Del Mar CEO Joe Harper acknowledged that they knew this day would come eventually and wished Denman the best in his retirement. Larry Collmus, known for calling races at prestigious events like the Kentucky Derby, will succeed Denman as the voice of Del Mar.

Denman’s retirement leaves a significant void in the racing community, as he was a beloved figure at Del Mar and Santa Anita for over four decades. Fans and colleagues alike expressed their gratitude for Denman’s contributions to the sport and his memorable calls. Collmus, who has admired Denman’s work for years, is honored to take over as the new full-time voice of Del Mar.

As Collmus prepares to step into Denman’s shoes, he acknowledges the challenge of following in the footsteps of such a respected figure in the equestrian world. Denman’s legacy will be remembered by fans and colleagues alike, and Collmus is excited to continue the tradition of calling races at Del Mar.
