if he wasnt bound to talk about all horses he sure can lable the best looking in the ring(without looking at a card or betting)
He is topclass if you ever have the time to see how he can pinpoint them in the ring and canter down and he is not rushed .
to each his own but will like to have him next to me in the ring and canterdown...

spot on the presenters are the eyes and ears for the off course punter

Rod`s main job is to make up the rota and chum JS for lunch these days

There is only two presenters i ever listen to,Neil P and Deez

the rest i just mentally block because they can`t even read scripts correctly never mind get information over

Neil is a judge of a horse and Deez is a top form student imo

lol and both of them post on here

When you own a horse and you hear people outside of your stable talk about them in definitive terms like they know something, it can be very irritating. In America, I mute my television so that I don't have to hear them.

The idea of two people talking over moving images over which they have no control and being expected to fill the airways with chat is a flawed concept at best.

You don't hear football or baseball presenters making comments this stupid, but for some reason racing presenters talk simply to make themselves sound knowledgeable or to fill the empty spaces.

If they want to have something on between races, show us interviews with people that are involved with the horses or show previous racing clips of the participants.

The number of people in racing anywhere in the world that can add something to the mix that will help somebody pick a winner is very, very small.

Hi Blondie now I know how you are that you know a lot about BTW and what presenters must say.Neil is a gentleman and is very good in what he does, he's a owner as well know the in and outs of racing,they should use him more

Why insult him...when you don't even know him personally?he is passionate and at least does his best to help the punters....your comment totally uncalled for.

one negative comment about Neil and the rest compliments

Sitting at the Mugg and Bean in Bayside and Neil and Shane Mcgregor sitting opposite me with wife and kids. Thought about getting a response .

Really though, switch the volume down rather than come on here and have a go. On Friday I really fancied a horse Aldo was riding. Neil said it went down short so I stayed out and it never shaped. Had it won I would not have been pissed off. I chose to listen.

you never going to keep everyone happy but if you can keep 80 percent happy then you doing a great job and neil certainly meets that and more..his heart is in the right place and he deserves to present in cape town or anywhere in the country for that matter...

as for martin locke gold circle must dump him asap and replace him with james goodman..martin is embarrassing himself every meeting

Great to get the feedback and do apologise to him him, for unwarranted negativity and name calling.... :blush: Was clearly wrong.......
