He deserves his own thread ... welcome back Tony Lee.

Great news... good guy... good caller and a huge plus for NZ to have him back where he always should have been.Good luck and good calling mate.

[Midget 4,489]

Agree,he is the best and what i remember about him was the fundraising effort he put into West Coast racing for the families of the pike River Disaster,all at his own expense.

Welcome back champ.

I agree, the best as far as I am concerned. No disrespect to George, Mark and the younger brigade, but for me Tony is the benchmark.

When did Hauby last call a race meeting ?

Great news!

Good luck Tony and we look forward to your usual crisp voice, accompanied by your "99%" usual accuracy and tempo (nobody's perfect!) and of course those exciting close finishes ! All the best!

[Irish 270]

Be still my beating heart.  

Awesome, and very welcome, to see you return to the fold Tony.

Wonderful news !! ................. It's all been said.

Finally a good reason to watch NZ racing again!

Is it coincidence that his reappointment has coincided with another person's resignation?

Either way, he'll be a breath of fresh air into the tired, stale NZ racing environment.

Kudos to whoever made this decision.

Welcome back T. Lee

What a perfect, descriptive call, so far in front of anything, by any other commentator in NZ over the last 5 to 8 years.

Just my point of view! 

If you disagree, post a better one - by someone else.

[TheMug 53]

Great news. Can't wait to hear his dulcet tones again. 

 

Is anyone able to upload some of Tony Lee's calls of Xcellent winning the mudgway / stoney bridge / kelt ? That was some of his best work. Xcellent was a freak.

Watch and enjoy. What wonderful memories.

Even her beloved handler Jayne has gained fame, initiated because of the great mare and has now been snapped up by Australia!

But wasn't that call pure magic in the way it was described, especially if you were listening on radio.

Lucky enough to be on course for this performance, T Lee has a pretty good eye for a decent horse. The goat is back.

Who? Something back in the field?

Certainly not the winner, or are you trying to be stupid?
