    Akcam got a reaction from Baz (NZ) in New way forward   
    Looks like the Princess Royal has photoshopped the presenter photos

    Part of the Entain rebranding exercise…nice new logo and colours will make all the difference……
    Let’s hope they don’t clash with the presenters too much…….

    Agree .. other drivers have woken up to his intent to lead at all costs and then dictate from the front. He has murdered some drives by burning hard and having then to sit parked or parked 3 wide

    Isn't Blair Orange an impatient driver these days.
    Race after race, on different track after different track, there he is pushing hard to get to the lead, or when he gets there, to force the pace.
    Sure he drives a lot of winners, but he gets a lot of drives as well. His UDR rating this season is poor, and a long way from the top 20, and in fact it has never been in the top 10 for many years.

    Yep, saw that and thought what the hell is he doing. Looked both rude and unprofessional.

    Zac I watched him interview Lisa after the Winter Cup. Instead of looking at her and acknowledging her answers or comments, so he could ask his next question, he was looking and concentrating on his mobile. Either looking at his next question or, reading a text from his admirer saying "I saw you on TV". Totally unprofessional. In a live environment an interviewers next question should be based on the answer just given.

    Are you an aspiring comedian Zac? The woman representing the Myers stable seemed anything but comfortable answering his usual inane questions. IMO.

    Might be controversial and unpopular but despite the rugby scores, I felt Aidan did a good job on course yesterday with interviews etc.

    You're missing the point .. and most normal people don't want to try and watch an All Blacks test match and the racing at the same time, that's just silly. And no we won't be returning to afternoon test rugby permanently for so many many reasons.

    Well said, Palliser.
    Best to watch via the website, then you can just click on Trackside 1 or Trackside 2 just before start time, thus avoiding  the TAB time-fillers completely.
    An added bonus................you avoid listening to their tips, which is a guaranteed money saver.

    I know we tend to go on about the quality of Trackside presenters. But they don't help themselves by  employing certain people and just leaving them to it, I don't mute many but sorry Blake you're like Chinese torture I have to reach for the remote. If I was any sort of expert and I'm not .. I would say work on your 100mph monotone blurb that has no time for a breath and finds you swallowing saliva generated from that action. Try and relax in front of the camera with your facial actions. Also when you find you have talked yourself into a corner spouting on about nothing, take a second to regather your thoughts rather than make it worse by continuing to ramble about nothing. And for God's sake stop calling Gary Cleeve Crafty everytime you mention him. I know another moan, but seriously this is why a lot of people tune out, I will add he's not alone there.

    Congratulations to Brad Reid.      Brilliant questions that so far as I know have not had a response from those that made this decision in the first place.
    Probably because there is no defence for giving a serial offender even a limited dispensation when he has served a very small part of his disqualification.
    Congratulations are also due to the Trainers and others who raised such a storm of protest that McGrath has been forced to slink back into the shadows. 
    McGrath has no place in the industry and the sooner he realises that the better. He should serve his full period of suspension and then find somewhere
    else to apply his skills.
