Country Victorian race caller Ric McIntosh’s take on the Ben Yole ban is an illustration of everything thing that is wrong in the halls of power of harness racing. Instead of damning and condemning the abhorrent conduct of Yole, McIntosh – a prominent harness racing influencer – wants us to feel sorry for big bad […]
Chris Barsby has built a reputation over the years as the most precise harness race caller in Australia. Barsby almost always it right in super tight finishes 99 out of 100 times, picking the correct result in split cigarette paper photos almost every time.
