Alan is only human and sometimes with the passion and excitement that he puts in his call, the final 100mts and 50mts have been a challenge for him, especially when in a driving blanket finish.
Must admit to not ever being a fan of him but on the one occasion when 2 Fred Crabbia horses were fighting out the finish and he called the wrong horse as the winner.
When he realised his mistake and corrected the result, he made a plea on air in an emotion- choked voice for people to please not mock and ridicule as it hurt him when such comments were made.
It is his passion for the game that has made Alan the voice of P.E racing.

If ever they decide to replace Dumpy it will be a big mistake
He is ALL heart,puts everything in his job/commentary

PE racing will lose a lot of spark

How come no one commented on Richard Hoyles call last week when the horse on the outside was 2 lengths clear and won easing up and he was calling the inside horse in the lead and then " Its My Turn gets up on the outside" when Striker was easing the horse up by 2... and he called Kemal Kavur 3rd when it was clearly never in the first 4 at the line.

Bumpy does a very creditable job in my opinion and a 'cock up every meeting' is bollocks.

Don't you think Dumpy has a bit of an advantage compared to Hoiles,Dumpy is calling the same horses at ONE venue. Dont you think the camera angle at kenilworth is confusing?
Catches plenty of punters out until the finish.Im not RHs pal or anything,but he's 100 times better than Dumpy.

No for f...... sakes guys Dumpy is synonyms with PE racing and Im one of his biggest fans. He adds to everything thats PE racing and makes PE racing what it is. Something different, someone with untold passion and someone with a huge commitment to his task.
I hope he keeps going forever.

I think if PE had a competent race caller ,the difference in race calling would be noticeable and is long overdue.
