Think it wouldn't be appropriate to remove the voice behind Ngong racing. One can see the passion and the knowledge that the caller exudes even if he does all the talking at the presentation. :lol:

The French Races where the commentary is in English, that guy calls every race from the studio, plus he also does the harness and jump racing :ohmy:

The 16 horse field resembled a cavalry charge. Also no false rail but a race full of pace and few hard luck stories it seems?

Nobody in their right mind would begrudge someone from making a living from Ngong racing. Fantastic for them and I hope they go from strength to strength. Entertainment value 10/10 racing/betting value 0/10, well that is if you enjoy this unprofessional pish they dish up week after week.
Why must we be subjected to this crap when there is so much better racing out there ?

I love Ngong racing especially the Sercombe/Sercombe combination, when he falls off the horse drunk halfway down the straight reminds me of Jimmy Anderson in his heyday :whistle:

I remember sitting with Jimmy at 2am in the morning, both merrily pissed and he rode the next day at Greyville (he did this often). - Memories

I think Bob should do one of the poll things to gauge whether punters on ABC are in love with Ngong or not.

Like a yea or nay?

P.S. Looks a definite nay from neigh? :lol:
