Alvin August not needed... (td)

it is alvins own fault. he should be concentrate more on the cricket when he was in school <

i agree this is stupid decision

agree - together they are an absolute joke - someone needs to explain to them the purpose of a presenter ie to relay info before the race from jockeys and trainers - im confused or do they think we want their fing opinion - do me a favour

at least Alvin would have asked de kock how he felt Ilha bella would go - is this rocket science? about time they get someone like BART back who actually knows what he is talking about

To be honest I think it's a question of utilising your assets to the maximum. In this regard the commentator at the Big hole will now do the previews and maybe post -race interviews? Seems like Cohen is the wunderkind b'cos first 2 cents now the Giggler, who next?

Don't forget Ali gets flown to P.E. to do joint previews with Gav Venter and help out Alan Schoeman.

2 cents & Alvin.... next to go maybe Chainsaw

It's just not cricket!!

at least 2c would have done his homework and asked de kock on the well being of Ilha bella - Englander with all due respect you are missing the point - if the presenters dont do the asking of trainers and jocks wtf do they actually get paid for? i think Ken and his boys like Martin Lock should explain to them in one easy phrase what is their purpose? answer to relay info re the days pertinent runners. IS THIS NOT CORRECT ? OR IS IT TO TELL US HOW ALL 16 RUNNERS WENT TO THE START AND HOW MUCH THEY FARTED ON THE WAY DOWN AND HOW MUCH WATER THEY HAD PRE RACE WTF start a site rather for punch and judy - good example - de kock wins with Il san pietro - normal person would think Reign as Kings is fav in next race Mike how do you feel about this runner - no not them they start telling Mike what a decent animal Il Sanpietro is - guys if you not sure what the punters are looking for from presenters why dont you do a survey and ask them ? anothe rexample ? if you are doing video footage and the only trainer you can find has a 50/1 shot running so do an interview and interview him about all his camels and play this back - DOES THIS HELP THE PUBLIC ? MARTIN lOCK DO YOU THINK THIS HELPS? Ken does THIS help the public. FFS RATHER INTERVIEW THE APPIES CAUSE THEY AT LEAST DO THEIR HOMEWORK.You guys need to regroup and realise what the actual purpose of the presenter is. They should look at the card and then evaluate interviews - telephonic comments are fine. If this is confusing you are welcome to call i will give you guys relevant interviews needed for the card to satisfy the public for a particular meeting

Alvin "The Chipmunk's" Kim PA was always taken into account, especially as he would take the time to chat to the trainers etc prior to the race meeting & include selections if necessary, unlike the 2 on Tues night at Turf who failed to chat to MDK & inform the public that IB had 40 days in the paddock during her 108 day rest. Obviously Alvin was not popular around the braai at Rutherford or McCurdy's house. Surely Phumelela & GC who control TT need to take some urgent action. What about a good old faschion picket at a race meeting.

rowdy...i think the red mist is rising....action needs to be taken...for far too long we've been given shit to feed on

2 cents is no longer with tt....let me tell u ..they have lost a gem..i am still fortunately in contact with 2 cents...and his input to me is invaluable...he studies...he finds the value....and he knows his form even backwards....now the value of these presenters lie not with us but more to inform the overseas viewers on form etc..because we locals by and large know formlines and the strength of fields..and also know that form of a horse in kimberley for instance needs to be taken lightly when he is campaigning in jhb for example even if he has 3 wins behind his name...its the same kind of value i look for when i hear the overseas presenters doing their summary before a race...like that lady presenter would say,,...this horse has run in 3 valuable maidens stakes recently and this contest may not take that much winning although his form is not showing all that flash....and i have backed many a winner just listening to that 1 minute synopsis that we get...what value are some of the presenters forwarding to these guys....put yourself in the position of a uk punter listening to our crap....he is more confused than he was before the presentation

Guys ,who is above Rutherford,is it a board or one person.Having an Australian ruling the roost in SA is an egregious mistake release these arrogant twits or offer them alternative employment.Surely these guys will be part and parcel of the small % of unemployed should they return to their motherland.

DISGRACEFUL, strike 2 after Darryl !

Guys we need to get Alvin August managers email address and we all will give to him, .sorri to say this is totally racist. Common guys this guy does such a splendid work for all punters , help ,and step them in the right direction. Now they say he's useless, what about those bum presenters they act like comedians, and we need to put up all the shit with them.
U know what I am thinking this manager of Alvin was paid of by the bookies to fire him cos he's leading the punters in the right way, bookies do anything guys to win.
