Perhaps it is time to give this "trouper" a gentle tap on the shoulder(NB. not NSW).

Is it possible that this particular caller may have called his last Caulfield Cup last weekend as he has made some mistakes recently, I know it is a difficult job to get right all the time but he has made alot of mistakes over the last couple of years. I could have forgiven him last year in the Cox Plate however there could be nothing more nerve racking. |
