alltheway!!! 640 Report post Posted May 14, 2017 Andy McCook is easily far better than most of NZs current greyhound race callers and will only get better with experience. How about some of these older commentators move along and give him a go jasonmccook1, Seddon and come on ref 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoKnows 791 Report post Posted May 18, 2017 Poor Trevor, all he could go on about before Tom Tee's race tonight was his multi and how after the race the money will be in your account, then about how he couldn't believe he went out to 2.1 on the tote, we can all guess what happened next....... lad27, Seddon and Jabba2 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track Record 77 Report post Posted May 20, 2017 Trevor Wilkes commentary is absolutely appaling, you only have to listen to his call this past Thursday at Addington. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor is a paid professional, he is financially rewarded for performing a service. This service should be conducted at a reasonably high standard that should be reviewed not only by his employers but also the general public. We the people in the industry of this great sport need to have a say, should their be an avenue where we the people can express our opinion in confidence and in true reflection of improvement to this sport then that could only be a good thing right.

Track Record 77 Report post Posted May 20, 2017 2 minutes ago, Flagship uberalles said: In the old days pre trackside callers were not relied apon solely for their tipping prowess, just calling, people were clever enough to pick their own horses/dogs...its ridiculous now for them giving 4 selections to pic dogs/horses a race. I'm sure they don't enjoy that pressure on them a well as calling when everything is scrutinized via social media. For me trev has done a great job over the years at harness trials and dogs. If you have a prob with his calling put on the mute surely you can see where your dog is following its rug colour! I listen on the radio as I can't bear listening to all the bollocks from all the twats on trackside so I can just turn the radio off after my race has finished! My comment isn't related to his tips/selections rather his ability to call a greyhound race. You make referece to muting his calling, indeed the muting of his call is an option should you be watching trackside but listening to his call while on the road..
