Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
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.
