Question

I't might seem a bit obvious, but the best solution for punters with no faith in the punting media [or whatever] would be to do their own form perhaps and ignore/don't listen to, those coat tugger opinions entirely [?]

Nothing worse than thinking you've found something at value then have Mr Lester or Brassal flog the thing in the morning ,,, then on the other hand i love it when the tipping bandwagon tip something i think is vulnerable ,,great to lay and it also gives you better value for your selection..

There was a race at Cranbourne today when the commentator stated "authoritively" that a certain horse would not be able to handle the 1200m of today's race.
Well, this particular runner jumped well and quickly joined the leaders most of the way and faded in the last 200m to finish a close 4th.
"Fair Dinkum" - this bloke is the "Kiss Of Death" for all punters and his betting method is similar to that of a 12YO.
Sheesh,
Why do they let him tip......?
He hasn't tipped a winner since "Noah was a boy!"

Cheers.

Default The Good, The Bad and The Atrocious

I think Larry Olsen, Jack Petley and Ron Dufficy do a good job.

A local sports and occasional racing commentator asked what I think is probably the most inane question I've ever heard to a kick boxer (but probably, to most followers of this 'sport'penetrating and relevant).
I can still hear it in my mind's ear (wish I could get it out of there).

He asked, verbatim: ''Do you ever think about gittin' beat?''
My immediate thought was as I dropped whatever it was that I was doing: ''This is quality radio.''

Relevance, depth and eloquence in just seven words

I must admit that I have certainly enjoyed the last couple of programs of a Sunday morning racing-orientated program.
The reason....the new panel member "knows what he is talking about" rather than the usual incumbent who always has an agenda-driven program in his lethargic summations.
More of the same please minus one "lame-duck!"
If anyone listened to Skysports Radio they would soon realize who the informative assessors of the racing game were!
Good Luck to Them!

I was very pleased to see that Sky Racing has a "new" commentator/host...Gary Wilkinson.
Good to have you aboard "Wilko" and all the best to one of the most professional and versatile commentators in the business.

Cheers.

Isn't it great to have "Miracle" Mal Johnston on Sky Sports Radio each Thursday morning?
He displays his natural cheeky character but what is more endearing to the listeners is the way he refers to his apprentice charges as "my girl/boy."
Dare I say it....he is like a "mother hen"(please accept that in the best possible way).
More of the same please and all the best to "Miracle!"
We haven't forgotten you mate..."Miracle" and "the King"...what a combination......!!!!!

Cheers.
