Good memories. Hawkins was a very good caller....didn't try at all to be the main attraction.

And that imo is the main reason why owners have dwindled, more than politics, incompetence and all other factors combined - risk vs reward totally out of kilter nowadays :(

wonder what would happen if the salaries of trainers, jockey's & operators and the price of yearlings escalated at the same rate as prize money?

For me the Cap worn by G Hawkins in those days is the cap he has worn with the utmost distinction. What a commentator he was simply awesome. Now the caps aren't so lekker...

Clyde in the 2nd video also different class.
