Palliser 1,276 Report post Posted April 11 I don't know if it's just me, but I find it very hard to hear and or understand what he is saying half the time. Sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles while talking at full speed. Insider, Manfield and JTeaz 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunlineboy 153 Report post Posted Tuesday at 09:32 PM Our "presenters" are terrible across the board. Only Jayne would get a job offshore, and that's because she has already worked for Racing.com. I like Emily, but she appears too teleprompter-driven at times. As for the men.... they are just poor across all levels. Presentation, forced laughing/jokes, lack of betting knowledge (which is different to horse knowledge), asks about track conditions all the way up to Race 10. I imagine they're all on decent salaries too, given they're on TV. And no, I couldn't do any better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Corey Brown , Richo , Hutch , BZ , Greg Radley , Ron and Brad when they are on track .

sunlineboy 153 Report post Posted Tuesday at 10:45 PM I could watch the Get On crew all day long. They don't need to try hard because their personalities are ingrained. Kiwis sorely lack in this area. The Formline guys are a little more serious, as is the show, but still entertaining and informative - and as Scooby said, you don't see Hutch or Ron turning up wearing an LA Lakers hoodie and Warriors cap. Aussies just do it better, unfortunately. Blaird, Charlie E and Insider 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they still teach Elocution lessons at schools, or have New Zealand's standards slipped off the hill into the mudbath with the last storm? The universities / Education sectors all need a clean out and cleaning up there act Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimbo 837 Report post Posted yesterday at 12:36 AM Some of ours are good, some not quite there yet. Not much of worth in what they say to help you make a quid, but you can't have no shows to watch and nothing in between races. Exceptions are Bruce Sherwin (what can't this guy do?) and Leith Innes (occasionally). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacingJackReacher 25 Report post Posted yesterday at 03:24 AM 3 hours ago, TurnyTom said: My favs are Duff and Radley, very professional and deep in identifying trials performers ready to run Great show The Formline weekly show each Thursday is a goldmine. An absolute lesson in quality, professionalism, presentation and knowledge of horse, jockey, trainer and in depth form commentary, all shared in an organised, interesting and enjoyable format. The track condition and weather forecast summary with the track manager to open the show is on-point and valuable. No puffery, no waffle, no pretense, just solid, reliable information for punters by commentators Ron Dufficy, Brad Gray and Tim Ryan, all of whom actually know their subject in depth. Radley is the doyen of hosts in my opinion and our TAB could learn much from this show as our equivalents are just dross by comparison.
