Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
This is the low camera shot of the finish of race 2 at Mt Gambier yesterday. How do you reckon they finished? Inside 1st, middle 2nd, outside 3rd? Wrong. Try again from the replay. The inside? Wrong again. The angle at Mt Gambier is a shocker. It was a dead heat inside and outside, with […]
You wouldn’t have been wanting to have bet in the run in the last race at Ballarat on Sunday, not based on Terry Bailey’s call anyway. He ballsed the whole call up well and truly. It wasn’t Aureate in the white cap that won the race, it was his stable mate Air Defence. Aureate was […]
Listen to Chris Barsby’s call here in the 8th at Albion Park on Tuesday. Are callers allowed to give drivers the heads up like this? I very much doubt it. But I am sure the driver says thanks.
Jack Callaghan slaughtered Spirit Of St Louis in the Nullarbor last week by not handing up to Hot And Treacherous, and last night in the Fremantle Cup he pulled a similar kill job on that horse in reverse. Happy Jack obviously hadn’t done his form properly, and didn’t realise that if Pinny Tiger got to […]
What was Richie Bell thinking when he called Kate Gath little Katie during his call of the Nullarbor last night? Little Katie? What does that make all the women and men that she outdrove? Little Jacks, Cams and Juniors? Gimme a break. That sort of description is demeaning sexist crap that has no place in […]
Have you ever heard that in a race call before? I don’t think I had until I heard it in a trot race at Dubbo tonight. Know what it means? I didn’t. It means a long neck. After my night on the punt I need half a dozen. https://magpile.com/kingbrown/#:~:text=Kingbrown%20is%20West%20Australian%20slang,like%20a%20good%2040%20should.
