gubellini 3,923 Report post Posted June 30, 2022 Yes unfortunate situation there Palliser. I noticed the hot favourite Spicy Filly wasn’t flexing her near hind leg properly when she entered the stalls. She finished 7/11 and 5.5 lengths from the winner. Stipes report will be interesting.

mikenz 1,071 Report post Posted July 3, 2022 Gee after all the effort i go to to brighten this place with some music and some humour and its deleted, could it be that some people take things too seriously? And could these same serious people be administrators on racing clubs that cant just figure out why race courses are mainly populated by seagulls and a few from retirement villages and the RSA, food for thought. Criss Cross was and is real, and maybe the guy in the gym may have been a retired jockey who may have just let himself go a bit. Gee i got 2 likes in no time.

I am still struggling with the cheesy accolades he received near the end of his first ever Cup week gig. You'd have thought he had split the atom. Totally over done and he had Pops, Rodders, and the like heaping praise on him for calling some races. I never ever saw Reon Murtha get profusely thanked for his 40 odd years of calling in the South Island - let alone 40 Cup Weeks! Thats life today though - no perspective of balanced opinion. Just lauded and over the top baloney. Hedley Jordan, MisterEd, Palliser and 3 others 3 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still pretty young as well. I'm sure I wasn't the calm, reasonable person I am today at that young age. I imagine it is a pretty hard job to call all those races during Cup Week so he deserves credit for that. Remember that a lot of meetings these days have only 7 or 8 races, with small fields, so to call big fields and 11 or 12 races day after day during Cup Week is a bit of a mission. The SI is pretty well off at the moment with racecallers. Certainly in no way inferior to the northern callers. I like the Aussie down south, we are lucky to have him as well.

Anteater reared in the stalls and tossed Kylie Williams out the back. She got up limping and Matt Cross said something like we could have another scratching. McKenzie Chief who was galloping around the track took 8 minutes to catch. By then both jock and horse were passed fit to start.
