He is doing chch Tuesday and Friday next week while trev is away. Racing board in a good position having 3 commentators under 30 on the books (andy, Matt cross and Matt gardener) so get at least 30 years out of them as long as nz racing can keep them onshore.

Beck"s 40 Report post Posted February 25, 2017 What did happen to Tom...was it because he didnt get to the call the big days ?? I thought he was very good...I did recall him saying that on his last raceday call he went to use the company cell phone and post last race it was cut off... Poor form by his employer !!!

That was my point Leigh they have the young talent they need to make sure the wages and working conditions make them feel wanted in nz.
