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

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 !!
