Mardy 475 Report post Posted April 16, 2017 I've noticed that ever since he's been back that his 'tips' are pretty much whatever looks good around at the start....rather than most other callers who seem to put some thought into it.It's not a criticism of him....but am struggling to remember whether he used to tip like that before he left..apart of me doesn't think he did...but am not entirely sure.

scooby3051 10,869 Report post Posted April 16, 2017 He is employed to call races...not be a tipster. Hall, mckenzie, TOM(the other Molloy) and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slam dunk 1,317 Report post Posted April 16, 2017 He is employed to relay what he sees. TV people should realize that the parade and prelim along with loading is part of the race so TAB odds should not obliterate the horses. TAB still don't get it. A punter may have two or three horses sorted out by form but will bet on the best pre race looker. Therefore Turnover = prerace observation.

jasonmccook1 2,359 Report post Posted April 16, 2017 Think this subject has been raised before he is hired to call races and races only. No radio trackside cross overs nothing else but call Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBigStuff 394 Report post Posted April 16, 2017 Thats Tony being Tony, trouble is he wont tip which is what my insiders are telling me. Part of the job, all other callers inc the very best eg Miles in Melbourne so what's his beef? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably should be a criticism. Everyone should be open to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midget 4,489 Report post Posted April 16, 2017 If you listen to anyone on Trackside guessing/tipping you're brain dead, and God help your wallet. What you want from them is information not tips, just tit bits, e.g., if a horse is sweating up badly, reluctant to load, being reshod, been in the barriers a long time, has a gear change, .....or conversely remarkably relaxed.... that's information, you can use that to your advantage so that's what you should demand. As for Trackside tipsters putting thought into their selections, you're kidding, they're oxymorons with legs, and they may as well be putting thought into what the colour of the number 8 smells like. gary1, THE TORCH, Kent and 4 others 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eljay 1,719 Report post Posted April 16, 2017 There are two types of tipsters - those who couldn't even tip a rubbish bin - or those who are professional punters and tip out losers for their own benefit. ivanthegreat 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's employed by the TAB , they don't want their employees tipping winners at their expense. The others are not capable of tipping anything but the lunch table or rubbish bin so no worries.
