Sad news. Deane was always generous and encouraging to young people coming through the ranks, but more importantly he was a good bloke. I will fondly remember his joy the morning after The Quarterback (a horse he part-owned) won the Newmarket.
RIP Deane Lester 💔
Cracking fella who’ll be sorely missed. A pioneer who raised the bar in the racing industry for work ethic and professionalism. A friend to all.

My favourite Comettism was when he threw to the score graphic for the famous Essendon v NM 2001 comeback game:
"If you don't wish to know the scores, look away now.... you wouldn't believe me if I told you anyway."
The best Comettism ever ?
I'm gonna nominate one that no one ever talks about.
In 1999, after the game where Plugger kicked his 1300th goal, Ch7 crossed to Perth for the double header.
Sheer brilliance with just 6 words.

I think there are great commentators today and will always be in the future. The difference now is the fragmentation of the media with multiple call teams for many sports etc. and greater choice which perhaps means nobody stands out as much or has the same audience as in the past
My column.
Who are the heirs to Rex Mossop, Denis Cometti, Richie Benaud, Norman May, Ray Warren, and Bruce McAvaney?
I rest my case.
The age of iconic commentators is gone.
