voice of reason 83 Report post Posted February 1, 2020 some of these people on trackside obviously do zero prep work ,not even bothering to read through the feilds that are going to race during their shift. this is obvious when they proceed to butcher the names [and racetracks] of horses that are all well known to any of us who have even a passing interest. miss morris ,and especially bromley just dont give a shit very unproffesional ,and who the hell is monitoring them ,to give them a kick up the arse. mark claydon is the exception ,he is very good ..why ?..because he has a wealth of knowledge ..and knows the business ..and is prepared the rest ,embarrassing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
We're Doomed 4,824 Report post Posted February 1, 2020 I don't really know who most of the trackside presenters are as I don't take much notice of them, but one young lady on trackside two last saturday, called Nicole I think, seemed to be very good.

eljay 1,711 Report post Posted February 1, 2020 Rodley has the answer - if you on when it is all harness, just talk about gallops. You can't make mistakes that way!

voice of reason 83 Report post Posted February 2, 2020 bromley is on now ,butchering the names at matamata ....how would you pronounce, aotearoa ? not this bloke ,he hasnt heard of the maori name for this land. and as soon as they cross the line at each venue ,straight back on to dicky ,so he can have a guess at the placings .so damned frustrating ,remember its the radio ,we cant see the pictures...do you not think those on course might have a better idea. when a tight finish occurs in a race , why cant the host interupt the next call to give the numbers ,..e.g. 2,4,5 matamata ,2,4,5...it would take about 3 seconds..results need to go to air right away,it is imperitve for the punters someone needs to listen to 2ky in sydney to hear how a proper service sounds like Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
