Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
David Fowler kicked off Cup day with a clanger. He jumbled up a couple of horse names, and for the first 800 meters of the six furlong race he called the leader Extreme Notice when its real name is Rates Notice. Feathers realized his mistake in the straight, and after a quick um and ah […]
Toowoomba race caller Anthony Collins has been kind enough to write in to explain the difficulties he faced during the call of race 3 at Toowoomba on Saturday, the main one being that the fog on the range was so thick that he couldn’t see the horses! That is fair call (pardon the pun it […]
The view from out the broadcast box at Toowoomba on Saturday night (pictured above) G’day Archie, It has come to my attention that you have “critiqued” the call of race two last night under trying circumstances at Toowoomba. To fill you in on a few details that need to be clarified; Last night’s “fog” was […]
What the hell went on here? Saga’s Girl is the horse circled in the orange near the rear as they go down the back. In between the bits we see through the fog and those we can’t the horses up front fan wide and Saga’ Girl gets a dream run up to about third on […]
Chris Barsby must be on leave because last night we had Chook Fowler going back to the future and calling the Albion Park trots, and now we have Terry Spargo going even further back in time to call tonight’s meeting. The problem is that Spargo wasn’t calling them from the on-course broadcast box, but instead […]

The somewhat disturbing mail is that Sky Channel are refusing to take Josh Fleming’s on-course calls from Birdsville this year, and will instead have the Cup and other races over the carnival called remotely from the studio. Why Sky are being so petty is a total mystery to us, for Josh is one of the […]
It appears from the debacle we saw on Sky yesterday that the broadcast box that the race caller works from has fixed glass windows that cannot be opened. When it rains hard and the wind is blowing into the window it seems that it becomes like a car windscreen in a torrential downpour when the […]
Oi Dickhead Bugger your Kiwi mate Mick Guerin. What ID25 needs is an entertainer. There is only one man for the job. Bonno! SOS Jason. We need you. Keith From QLD Editor’s Comment – I agree with you Keith. Every circus needs a clown. I bet BK couldn’t do this.
Can anyone in the world outside of the Sky Racing Thoroughbred exec who chose her explain why Ally Mosely is anchoring the Inter Dominion coverage on the channel? No knock to Ms Mosely, who is vibrant and bubbly and seems a lovely person, but she is a gallops gal and knows virtually nothing about the […]
