I hear you, but at least he is trying to mention every horse in the race. He has binoc's and the angles are not that easy. A lot of so called top callers only focus on the the top 3......Dumpy, Bumby, Grumpy calls the lot. jmho

Get your rooikrans or Kameeldoorn ready with some Boerewors. I'm coming over to watch the Bokke against England. I will PM you.

Did anyone hear how Dumpy deliberately pronounced "Hassin" Adams yesterday??? I had to giggle when that happened!! Good on you Dumpy!

To all those in favour of hearing the commentaries at Flamingo park on a Monday, then the Vaal on Tuesday, Vaal sand again on Thursday, P.E. on the Friday and Turfffontein on the weekend in the SAME voice, please say......................AYE, AYE!:

Chainsaw, plenty fans hey... please name me one??....<

I just laugh when he calls the wrong winner, at least its more funnier than Julie & co's jokes.

You set your standards low ....<

methinks is the other way round... in Cape Town we never get fourth horse called is 'and close in behind' ... and often not even 3rd. In KZN and Gauteng a certain caller calls only the front horse for the last 3 to 400 metres of the race ... fark what is happening behind...

pay closer attention to the entire commentary and Dumpy paints a better picture than any other commentator in SA... yes, it does get a bit frenetic at the post but he has to deal with huge fields on a wide track (not the Vaal straight 12 horses on a narrow track) ...and there are frequently blanket finishes especially in the sprints.

I have no problem with Dumpy !!

stop arguing and give me a winner for today in the Kaap....
