Replay this young fellas race calls  from today at Awapuni !!

I had a fair old go on a horse called " Cyclops " in race one.

I listened on my Radio as you do when travelling.

I Expected T Lee to call Cyclops home and didn't recognize the commentator's voice.

Eight  hours later I have just replayed all Awapuni races . 

Amazing race calls. Who is he ??

(  R3  when he missed If Ya Dont Mind breaking down about the 700m )  he spotted

He's A Freak coming very late to catch Realm ( great ride D B ) and Sardine.

Wonderful race calls !!

Talented Commentator??????? Every single one of them is unbelievably talented.  The Justin Evans really is a find though like Matt Cross. 

NZ racing might be rooted but one thing we do have in abundance is class in the commentators box. Not a terrible lot of ability among the administrators.

Been calling trials in the Northern region over a period of time and went and worked in radio. Had a different surname then which I can't recall. But yes, he does a good job calling.

NZ Racing is fabulously rich in horsemen, trainers, jockeys, commentators, and human resources generally,........sadly it’s impoverished when it comes to visionary leaders.

That rather suggests that it’s the “system” that’s broken, the model by which we elevate people to positions of authority and the mandate they have to act when they get there.

I’m wondering whether it’s time to move on from this flawed system and start putting some of our excellent horsemen back in head office, maybe the likes of Jim Gibbs and Lance O’Sullivan, wise men who’d compliment the young blades coming through, McKenzie & Fleming for example, plus a few more young “kids” because they’re the future, and some proportionate female influence.

 

Hopefully more talented than current one

Well done Justin, you did a fine job yesterday!
