Berri 2,131 Report post Posted March 13, 2022 Don't need to apologise. Made an observation that most would agree with. Anyone who has been watching my comments on Trackside presentation over the last ten years will see a common thread and they do agree with most of these comments. Even this thread proves it. This event was simply a continuation of that thread of thought. The industry is in the shit because the basics aren't being done well and need to be. It's not a matter of knowing everything because no one does, but there are common threads in respect of why this industry is in such a mess and I don't see many flash comments that could be construed as being constructive. I will not be one of those that isn't vocal, or caught up in some mamby pamby PC let's not have a winner so that we don't offend the others, type of person. People have to get a back bone to call things as they are. We have to become relevant so what does that look like? What do we need to rely on, or what should reasonable expectation be, in relation to media? That is the core of this thread.

Palliser 746 Report post Posted March 13, 2022 Yes .. have to agree there is an absence of decent presenters overall. I wonder whether they get the proper training to be fair. Also unfair to pick on Phillipa really, long standing presenters like Rodley still stammers, stutters and giggles like an excited kid, Sweeney sighing and ruffling papers all the time. I must say that Phillipa needs to give up trying to commentate on the dogs, she's actually worse than Rosanowski lols. I think Popplewell is pretty good, but like someone said none of them are perfect and each annoy in some way, some more than others. I mute Rosanowski for instance both presenting and commentating, he loses his audience with his verbal you know what. Pretty poor what is dished up for us, after all we pay to watch Trackside .. they seem to have nothing to offer. I hear they are doing a Trackside soundtrack, noticed a lot of interludes filled with music now sigh. JTeaz 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Ghost 36 Report post Posted March 13, 2022 What I couldn't work out is Pip Morris is a Greyhound person. No issues with that but why is she presenting Australian galloping races? So we have all these gallop people presenters and yes they have there regions but surely one can do Australia with some knowledge? And I understand covid may be the issue but just say if it is and let us work out our own opinions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjw 58 Report post Posted March 13, 2022 There are limited resources online to learn about NZ Racing and a few characters on racecafe jeopardise the game. How so? Young kiwis are punching keywords into search engines looking to learn more about NZ Racing, they stumble across these forum boards and immediately think they're inadequate & not the right fit. My suggestion - racecafe needs a private sub category for long standing members & participants to discuss topical manners behind public eye, we can't have someone who actively owns and races horses throwing haymakers at potential investors Memphis3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Bukowski 411 Report post Posted March 13, 2022 Berri , before you start slagging off Presenters , learn how to spell properly pal. It must be a tough gig dealing with approx 400 horse/dog names in a 4/5 hour shift. Your comments resonate of someone who Trackside have taken no notice over many years. Get that spelling right first old son before anyone takes you seriously. JTeaz, tasman man, Huey and 2 others 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midget 4,489 Report post Posted March 14, 2022 Suggestion..What about Trackside asking Steve McKee to do some work for them.He is well spoken, knows the industry backwards, he has owned horses trained in the SI, so would know the form from there. He was won many racing quiz's, so his racing knowledge is 2nd to no one. Also he could chair a panel of tipsters, who each week give there selections, with the TAB sponsoring the bets and the winner after,say 4 weeks can donate the winnings to a charity of their choice.The following week you could follow it up with bragging rights and bag the other tipsters and the other tipsters can bag jockeys as well ,in a humorous way. They could also give the ride of the week and the shocker of the week from a jockey. The programme could also feature a serious segment where the wows of the industry can be discussed and improved on. Trackside need to come up with fresh ideas that will generate increased turnover and make it compulsory viewing. Steven can only play so much golf and after playing against him,i cannot see any room for improvement. So this may be a real option Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
