Put any other caller in the world in that box for the Bool carnival and it just isn’t the same. The passion for jumps racing,the one liners,the suspense at what he will say next, the voice-

Actually I will save ya the trouble and block you. I know what why and how I called the photo wrong in R4 at Flemington over 2wks ago I don’t need advice from someone in another thread who has never called a race but thanks anyway
Bendigo cup day 2021. Thanks to the jockey club for looking after me some superstar Racecallers looking over me today. And to my mates who rode with me this morning and everyone for their kind wishes
Fact Verry Elegant purchase was by the Carter bros.They involved a bloke called Darren Weir who bought a 1/4 and on sold it to clients - he gave her 4st for a G3 win a G2 3rd and 5th and a G1 7th - he then sent her to his farm and rode her track work every 2nd day and as history
Top job Dayne!!! Kudos to Austy Coffey who is unsung hero in this story bcoz at the 2013 Wychie Cup he convinced me that I needed to help Dayne to call at 2014 Wychie Cup. I did and I convinced the club it was a good idea and fast forward to this in 2018

will look a little different this year but he’s up for the challenge, and has some good impersonations in the meantime.

The ins and outs of the prize money debate are way above my pay grade but I will tell you something it is not feasible to race a country horse atm the ex’s far outweigh the potential returns so put simply country racing cannot take any hit whatsoever in fact it needs a spike
I love the Jocks n respect the dangers there's a lot you see when you look thru 60x15s for a living. But the ppl who work the horses are on less than $20 an hour and owners pay 5k a month training fees. Our industry can't afford there demands simple maths M Price was right
Forget the Bool for a second if you haven’t watched a chase over the live hedges at Casterton you haven’t lived. Organise yourself for next year it’s Australia’s best chase course

Moor Meech Thornton Spain Yendall etc proving the city is no burden for Country Racing’s best in Victoria.Wonder how many others could do it if connections had loyalty
Thanks so much for kind words of support from abroad. I’ve never shared this before but my goal is 20 Grand Annuals. If I get that far (11 to go) the 20th will be my last ever race call as a professional caller atleast.

Look what I just dug up - this was a big nite for me 33-1 winner I owned and trained when I was 19 Mildura Cup nite 1990 and I didn’t forget to back it and sold it midrace as well

Got to be a star to get a horse like this to win RIP Gav
That’s robbery IMHO she was 3W outside leaders giving considered room inside her and a senior rider is judged to be entitled to the run inside her bcoz it was there for a split second after his competitive riding helped cause it. Feel for the apprentice
The world will soon move on from the

& 33 innocent refugees will watch the spotlight move away, from inside their airless prisons in the Park Hotel.
More Australians and much of the world now knows they’re there. But for how much longer?
Let them go.

Huge Thankyou to
@sportsbetcomau
@pcgarschagen
for the unbelievable honour of the statue at Whalers. Can punters help me show some appreciation by taking them on in a few races.
Legend this bloke congratulations Allan. Left a legacy that will last a long time on his clubs, profession punters and fans. Young guys who aspire to be the best could do well to be as respected and remembered and colourful as this bloke
@Racing
How good is he! Superstar I tell ya
Honestly the mental ability to do that with 21 runners over 1200 down the strate is mind blowing
In fairness no one can ever comprehend how good that is
Come to Casterton on Sunday if u can otherwise tune in to
