Admittedly that was a commentators nightmare, so not easy to get it right and pick up the 'horse on the outside' - but really this a*se-licking is not on - not even a mention of the well-timed ride by the apprentice :dry:

I have been saying for years , this Brandon Bailie is a horrendous race caller , I like to call him the Breaker ( pronounced Bree A kir ) he is so far up his own arse he hasn't taken any kind of criticism nor has he improved in all this time.

The Vaal Tuesday was a shocker of a day for him, one in numerous , are the authorities so deaf , is there no one else ?

Every horse is galvanised , it used to be every horse was going to the top, now it's also this jock and that jock all need support as they are so under rated and deserve more chances , but the worst for me is the constant brown nosing , he is so far up their bot bot's one only see his shoes sticking out .

Can I just say , once again , you are the race caller and the race caller only . We don't need all the other b/s you feel you need to tell us.

Now I hope ABC take a note out of Elon Musk's game plan and allow some free speech on this site as previous comments of mine regarding this hopeless race caller are always deleted.

Take care and ensure the mute button is close at hand or the air sickness bag.

Terrible post, hope you are proud PATCHES

Loss of signal, intermittent sound, endless aggravation but the one thing that is pissing me off the most is the commentator. Praising the jockey for a good ride on the favourite, & it gets beaten Lol.
Anyone who listened to you calling the race, were already counting there winnings. The “angle is deceiving” is just a commentators excuse, its not the first time you have called the races at Fairview.

Some of us have been in the game a long long time & we don’t need to be educated or entertained by the commentator.

Again I say, call the race Mr Bailey, that’s all !!!
Forget the histrionics. There are entertainment & educational channels on DSTV if we are in need.
Your enthusiasm has now become a liability.

If I'm wrong then its just my opinion & I apologize but I'm sure we are all looking for some small measure of professionalism in this nightmare.

By the way I didn’t have a bet.

Good Afternoon Bob😊. Just some feedback for the website, admittedly it was a bad round up from myside in Race 3, I was always confident that Grant's horse was coming back to win and chose to commit thinking that the line was looming quicker, error on myside and I do apologize sincerely to the punting public.

I do think it's an unfair comment made by PATCHES, I'm always open to constructive criticism, and will always try my best to improve from my mistakes, bad habits and learning is something that doesn't happen overnight. I will try my best going forward to correct my mistakes, again apologies to the public.

Thank you so much Bob😊

To me it's not that he got the call wrong - that can happen to anyone - but please just stop all this 'galvanising' and hero worship - just call the race :huh:

Brandon - If it is any consolation - You are the best young commentator around - You do not need to respond to people that clearly have a personal vendetta against you, for whatever reason. Once people start attacking the person, and not the job, then we have a problem. Brandon you are a Jack of all trades, commentator presenter and tipster. It is funny how when you do all of that, you get thrown under the bus for making a mistake now and then. Then you get people that are barely good at just one of those of those 3 things, who just go through their day to day under the radar on 4racing, and making more money than you do. You are in the public eye, so will always be open to criticism, but rest assured that the punter base on a whole appreciates what you do.

Just proves my point he is so thick skinned, just take on board what I have said and think about it , and for all you other snow flakes like Thor that expect a medal for finishing last , he is useless . My opinion and I'm not alone .

Patches... come on man, calling him useless is a pish comment

He's had a lot to carry on his shoulders, especially during Business Rescue

There was no time for mentoring he was flung in baws deep.. And from his replies he's willing to learn
