Race 1 Otaki trots the other day he calls Commando One clearly in second place over Aunty Jan. Didn't even say it was close. Just awful inaccurate commentating.

Tool no. 1 92 Report post Posted January 28, 2017 He never learnt the angle either as in the second race he called in Artanne over Stars Delight and it was a half head margin the other way. At least he said it was close. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gubellini 3,995 Report post Posted January 29, 2017 One thing about Jason is that he calls a spade a spade. At Otaki today spoke out about the unfairness of Burt Munro being able to contest a Maiden Trot. Also described his neighbour's horse Freule Helina S as "useless"!

Im sure wont be the first or last caller to mix up a finish at Otaki. as for calling someones horse "useless" I think thats a little ordinary really. Show a little bit of class I reckon, either that or just don't say anything - someone owns that horse and no doubt take very good care of it. Don't think you would hear GSimon call someones horse useless live on tv Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabearacecafer 44 Report post Posted January 29, 2017 Would love Matthew Cross to get the CD gig. Maybe a little to soon but give him his shot, the more i hear him call the more i think he's our future of commentating. From reports he is held in high regard from both Mark Mac and George Simon, couldn't ask for two better judges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gubellini 3,995 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Jason Teaz around 7p.m. tonight on Trackside Radio turned to cricket commentating between races and did a splendid job! Now that he has missed out on the C.D. Commentating gig he may have found a new vocation! It would give him a chance to use more appropriate words with the suffix er such as bouncer and yorker! jasonmccook1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gubellini 3,995 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Welcome back Tony Lee to race calling at Hastings today.

MrBigStuff 394 Report post Posted March 1, 2017 Strange alright. If your going to do the job do it properly not half hearted! Radio Sport always say exclusive. Just like Sky.

Might not be too weird on second thoughts when a commentator who did selections for the Addington dogs today left out two of his own dogs who both won. I heard Steve Davis and Bevan Sweeney giving him heaps about it after the second one won. Kent 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
