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

Rogan (without the Josh) is a modern day three-year-old trained by Cliff Brown in Victoria. Josh Fleming is the Brisbane race caller who was recently deposed from the […]
David Fowler called the placings wrong in the controversial race at Doomben yesterday that the TAB and bookies are paying out on the wrong results. What else would you expect? To think Tabcorp/Sky chose this chook over Josh Fleming. Decision making at its very finest. Not. Editor’s note – Provoker finished third

Pardon the profanity in the headline. It was a direct quote from Terry Bailey, said live on TV around Australia, New Zealand and no doubt a host of other nations across the globe. Oh dear. I’m not sure that it strictly meets the broadcasting standards, but it will make Terry the Saint a global superstar. […]
