Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
Poor David Fowler. His last call in Brisbane before boarding the plane to Cairns he got the photo wrong. You can’t say the man’s not consistent. At least there were no close photos at the Amateurs. We look after our guests up here.
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 […]
Peter Did you hear the call of the Battle of the Bush at Eagle Farm yesterday? The caller must have dropped his binoculars at the start. “Back in the Field” was mentioned 74 times in the final 400m. Listen to it again. I thought Back in the Field was a horse! He called the photo […]
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1221383985967362&rdid=wdUB1jovB9zGVnSo Terry Bailey shows humility and grace as he bows out of broadcasting after being a victim of Gil McLachlan’s axe. It was a dignified valedictory befitting of the man. Racing came first. Where it belongs. Thanks for your efforts Terry. Goodbye and good luck.
Darren Flindell is the Austin Powers of race callers, an international man of mystery. One who is unafraid too. The Sydney race caller is over in Qatar at the moment, the country that is getting pounded by Iranian bombs and shells. Flindell filmed it for the world to see. He probably called the bombs as […]
