Mr bigstuff. How about some constructive feedback so this person can improve himself, and hopefully have a chance in the racing world. well done kiddo, good luck and keep up the hard work. Determination is the key.

Cross every part of your body and pray she doesn't get taken out and spat out the back because unfortunately they don't consider "bad luck" when looking at form for selection!!!!Goodluck

In the last decade the floodgates have been opened in New Zealand to Chinese immigrants. Way too many,way too fast. The face of New Zealand has changed forever. I welcome immigrants from China but the balance is badly wrong to the point New Zealanders are now in danger of being over run in their own Country. Jobs are a premium to the point many of our family members have to move to Australia just to have a reasonable chance at getting work and a decent quality of life. Despite that just about every business we walk into these days is dominated by Chinese New Zealanders. Our local Post Office often has five of the six tellers being Chinese. I know of many examples where all this so called money these people bring into NZ helps nobody but themselves. Chinese people buying a business. Getting rid of the New Zealand staff and replacing them with Chinese. Claims made by many Chinese of having enough money to pass certain immigration criteria are farcical as one Chinese person helps another by being part of the scam. No follow ups by our immigration. We put up with this bullshit yet "white" people being shown the door by our immigration in a way that would have every non white person screaming RACISM if it was happening to them. Watched yet another example of injustice by Wayne Kerr immigration officials last night on TV3. http://www.3news.co.nz/Final-chapter-in-immigrants-battle-to-stay/tabid/817/articleID/310832/Default.aspx An English guy well liked and respected in his local community. Runs a business that not only employs locals but also provides a service that is used by everyone in that community yet because he has a minor heart fibrillation that may at some point cost our health system 25k they are showing this man the door. That is despite his Children and grandchildren living here. What sort of far quit would be so bloody heartless to do this to exactly the sort of man we actually want and need in NZ? It's just diabolical and even worse when you consider the open door policy to Chinese that has changed the balance of NZ for ever. How bad does this reflect on immigration when you have this situation and you have the man who seems a lovely guy thanking New Zealanders for their help and praising how wonderful NZ people are. We have a reputation as being quality people all around the world. Why then do we allow these Wayne Kerrs to destroy people and their families the way they have done here. How is NZ immigration looking after what's best for NZ and reflecting New Zealanders and what they would want by crucifying this man and his family? I have a family member who performs surgery on a daily basis in a major Auckland hospital. He has become increasingly disillusioned in recent years with what he sees as the third worlding of our health system. My family member performs surgery every day on obese people from the Pacific Islands that don't live in NZ and or pay tax here. Their illness is largely self inflicted yet they get priority on our elderly who are dying while they wait and wait for priority surgery. When it suits our health system we have a magnificent system. For the rest of the time it's in crisis that is killing quality New Zealanders every day. We know of an English couple that have been regular visitors to NZ for 20 years. They are considered wealthy by all who know them. They own a 1.8 million GBP's = 3.6 million NZ dollar home in Southern England. The husband runs an electrical business that employs 32 people directly. They applied for residency in NZ and intended opening a business here that would employ 40+ people directly. Their application was declined because they are both 60 years old. They appealed and were rejected a second time. Everyone outside of immigration stunned by this absurd situation. Needless to say if they had been Chinese they would have been welcomed as the immigration guideline policy is so narrow and polluted by dickheads and their masters!

Top job mate. Better than some race callers I hear. Non biased and precise. Well done mate you have a future in calling races.

Ligerzero... I think that you call is very good indeed. I admire your courage in making the recording and making it public. I hope you take your passion for commentating further as you clearly have the attributes required. All the best. Ashoka

I just had a listen, it's really good. Commentating is a specialist job, not many people can call even adequately.

Yanks!? That bloody phone eh. Christchurch boy reporting in! Thanks for the feedback so far, I'd love to further a career in the racing industry. I guess taking the courage to record and upload something is a start. Cheers.

Excellent effort. Nice and clear. Called what you saw. That's all we want. Far better than Trev. All the best

Oooh exciting! I love this time of year...especially in Aussie!

Haha perhaps a little nervous, but not enough to stop her running After a track inspection and bit of research, she's definitely locked in now: http://www.racingnetwork.com.au/atlantic-jewel-definitely-running-in-memsie/tabid/83/newsid/14956/default.aspx

good recording mate, good call. but lacked enthiusiasm

know it like an old pair of socks. fat kids aren't on KFC's new promotional material tho:)

Going to be some seriously good fields this week, girls and boys....

So the Saturday noms for Hastings are out - looks like a nice card all the way through. The clash between Salamanca, Touche, El Roca and Sir Andrew in the first could be a beauty.

Central grading with a national selection policy is what is need, and one national board. Comprising of one representitive from these 4 regions, upper and lower north island, upper and lower south island, and 3 independants. The industry simply isnt big enough to warrant having the current club vs club set up. The smaller clubs with out tracks should be closed or merge with the larger clubs. they simply are not needed. There is too many chiefs all lining their own pockets, with their own agendas and personal interests and it is just killing the game!! it happens over and over again and things need to change for the good of the industry!

Finally!!! Well Done Team!
