john legend 735 Report post Posted June 8, 2018 With the greatest goodwill in the world I have difficulty in being a fan ofMick Guerin. He canbe taken to task as the trackside/box seat producers all seem to think he is brilliant ??Last night he virtually stated the meeting at Cambridge was beneath him even commenting on it. For example he went to great lengths to describe the fact he took a miniscule bet on race 5 the fav and when it got second he was able to state loudly that other horses could win the race. so he bet only the tiniest of bets. Of course not once did the third horse get a mention other than to say it didnt hand up to the fav. quickly and made it work a bit hard. Surely there must be more intelligent presenters .

Rusty 575 Report post Posted June 16, 2018 I'm a big fan of his and think that he does a great job, across multiple platforms; tv, print and social media. He's extremely knowledgeable with harness racing, can string a few sentences together and not afraid to at least ask a few "tougher" questions or provide an alternative point of view. Over 35,000 followers on twitter proves he has a following, so he must have a few clues. Plus a lot of the major racing media outlets in Australia utilize his services frequently as they value his input. If he decided one day to leave the industry he would be missed. Left a massive hole when he departed Trackside a few years back. Sometimes you don't know what you've got until it's gone.

ivanthegreat 1,123 Report post Posted June 30, 2018 Must have "delusions of grandeur " as everything he projects , both written and verbal is made as if he is talking to an idiot. You couldn't do this as effectively unless you considered yourself superior to the rest of us. Strange really considering the background. hedley and Fartoomuch 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
