Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Over the past few months we have highlighted a number of issues with Terry Bailey’s race calling. All trains stop at the same station. The one called Retirement. Listen to this Barry Crocker from Terry the Saint last night at Pakenham and tell us you disagree.
Which horse do you think won the 1st race at Longchamp on Arc night here? If you said the outside like the caller did you’re wrong, not that anyone could blame you. The $1.50 shot got bloused on the line by it’s $61 stablemate. Punting is a real tough game only for the brave. Race […]
The caller at the WA country track at Moora on Saturday did a Bill Collins. “Rock of Kaha can’t win!” he cried. Famous last words, even if we did all agree with him when they were uttered. Watch this. Wow. I don’t think we’ll hang him for that one. PS – You can buy the […]
I often wonder what on earth Brisbane trot caller Chris Barsby is talking about when he breaks into a scream. This is one of the times. What the hell is a first over crush? It sounds like a sex act in an orgy, or an ice block, not something you’d find at the trots. I’m […]
I thought I was bad waking up sometimes and not knowing what day of the week it is, but race caller David Fowler puts me in the shade. Poor old David doesn’t know where he is. The races were at Ipswich yesterday son, not in Brisbane. If you don’t believe me try walking home. You […]
Eagle-eyed race watcher Coulthard from Coolum Beach has brought another T. Bailey stuff up to our attention, this one from race 5 at Sandown on Wednesday last week. Now I always thought that Smart Missile was a retired Group 2 winning sprinter who now stands at stud at Twin Hills, but according to the Saint […]
Mark Zahra might have had a good handle on the pace, if he was actually riding in the race. He wasn’t. Blake Shinn was on the leader. Terry Bailey once again gets the basics wrong. The Saint’s on fire. It’s time to retire.
South East QLD race caller David Fowler has become renowned for his inability to call winners in photos. He confirmed it twice in the one race in the 4th at Ipswich today. David called the 2nd placed Aerial Arsenal the winner. when Hi Jules actually was. And in the next breath he called Witheren Lass […]
Chris Barsby must be as silly as David Fowler is. Why else would he mimic his one time mentor by declaring Leap To Fame a potential favorite before the start of the Group 1 Blacks a Fake at Albion Park? Prospective champion? Balderdash. Contenders for the champions crown don’t do what Leap To Fame does, […]
Deep Tempest is a smart David Van Dyke trained galloper with a record of 4 wins from its 11 starts. He certainly wasn’t the horse that racecaller David Fowler called looming up to win race 1 the Maiden at Eagle Farm this afternoon. That was Deep Vega, as the Rooster finally woke up and realised […]
