Excuse me boet!
His calling was not out of the top drawer today.
Heads up........heads down.........when there was more than a long head in it.
Dumpy would have done a better job.

You must be smoking something very strong,he is way better then the guys that call there,two of your callers need oxygen next to them when calling a race.

I thought RS was pretty kak, his commentary of the 11th race was a shocker, repeatedly got the wrong call on Flight Zone and failed to mention the winner until about 100m to go. Stay in the radio business with your pretty voice. He's often very bad in Cape Town as well, just watch each race very carefully & listen to his call.

Imo he was not up to it - totally missed out that Link Man was slow away and got a lot of the angles wrong - called all the horses on the outside when the leaders were on the inside - probably using his binocs and not used to the angles - why just not stick with the local guys?
But still better than Bumpy
