Mardy 475 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 Well i was looking forward to hearing Mark call my horse Sarah Palin home first in her race,but now i have to listen to Trevor Wilkes...oh well at least it's a relatively small field,so i won't get lost following her...who knows maybe Trev will call a blinder in her race.

Good luck Marty. If Sarah Palin wins I don't think you'll mind if Mickey Mouse had called the race. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce M 143 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 First time I've ever bagged a commentator but this is embarrassing. He seems totally out of his depth...I'd cut him some slack if he was a beginner but he's been around for years.It really makes you appreciate Mark,Tom and Dave.

Good thing she finished second so you don't have to listen to the replay year after year. Also Mardy what's happening with Monty? would have won that first race for sure by 20 lengths.

Mardy 475 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 Yea it was unfortunate that he got the gallops on his debut run.He then got 2nd a couple of weeks back,spurted around the field down the back to lead,and then he got bombed by his stablemate who came off his back.He could be in action next weekend..Phil W is looking at spacing his runs,he won't be a maidener for much longer....big hopes for him.

Mardy 475 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 I'm not into bagging commentators..but after seeing a replay of the Geraldine meeting on Saturday,that would have to be one of the worst commentary effort that i've heard in a long while.There were a lot of ummm and ahhh...and sometimes some horses wouldn't even be mentioned..or he'd get too half way thru the field,then go back to the leader.I've heard him call at Addington,when Mark Mc hasn't been their,and he's done a good job..but Saturday wasn't great..most of those horses he would've called at the trials,so i don't believe 'new colours' could be used as an excuse...c'mon Trev you can do way better than that.

I do hope you realise that you are attacking one of the most dedicated racing journalists New Zealand and Australia has to offer, and yes he does frequent this website. He may not be easy to understand at times but I bet if you had taken the time to listen properly instead of pissing yourselves laughing you might have made a dollar or two. Mick does his homework extremely well, as you mentioned, I'm guessing you did not do quite so well judging from the spelling and grammar of your post? I'm sorry but I find the fact you call him a tosser rather offensive and disrespectful, and the mention of a speech impediment even more so.

emiliana 11 Report post Posted February 7, 2013 Mick is that you? Haha no it's not, sorry to get your hopes up!! I have had a fair bit to do with Mick over the years, he has always been great to deal with. The only problem I ever had with Mick was he interviewed me at Alex Park one night after I won a race and it ended up being a full page article in the Weekly, facts were all there but not entirely in the right order. My mother was not impressed!! Haha!! Was a great effort on his part though, he sat down and had a coffee with me and never took a single note, totally worked on recall alone. I didn't even realise he had interviewed me til the Weekly arrived in the mail! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
