I thought it didn't matter to Traders like you, what horse won. I figured you would be green allround. |

Most unlike him to complain as well Castiron

By:
Bit rich complaining when he can't even get the guys name right in the thread title.

Never been able to understand the potting of callers who get it wrong in a close finish.
Some even pot them for fence-sitting when they "leave it to the judge". Bit like umpiring decisions these days, gee it's easy to call them correctly from the couch...no pressure there  What's to be gained from havin a stab at a head-bobber if you cop abuse for getting it wrong? We are no longer listin to the wireless, the crystal-set or standing in the T.A.B without vision, relying on the caller to "paint a picture" are we? PC, if you have nothing else to complain about, why not spend some time researching your family tree? I'm strongly tippin........... you're a Pom  |

i can understand anyone getting it wrong at flemington.. because he was probably right
 but last twelve months has seen greg getting it wrong during the call way too often. He's got too much on his plate imo and should be concentrating on calling alone. He's an excellent judge imo, gives out plenty of insightful comment on radio sports university .. but it's a long day by the time the last comes around on sat. arvo. |

By:
Agree with Tins & Very
Unlike days gone by B.Collins would call em and with 400 to go would switch his eyes from the binoc's to the side window where he had taped all his bets. Strike rates by race callers at calling the correct winner in a tight finish are still(and will always be) higher than the strike rate of any punter trying to find a winner. |
|
By:
Well Greg's strike rate isnt too good atm, he has got 3 photos wrong in the last few weeks and his calling over the cup carnival at flemington was way down on past years.
If any other caller got 3 wrong they would have got the arse by now |
|
By:
Give it away Greg Miles, you have no idea
|
|
By:
Grag's having a bad one already
|
|
By:
no doubt he has got worse in the last couple of years
didn't hear the 1sr race - did inside get photo - they often do at flemington |

Miles Got it wrong....Big deal, the ones complaining are the ones who lost backing the 2nd horse. I say have a go and put your neck on the line on a call in a tight finish, thats your job. Punters who dont like losing money on a miss judged call give it up, most are whinging Pommmys anyway.

By:
That's quite a library you're building there Sourpuss
Does he call many races? I agree with Mike  |
|
By:
Half wrong
Puissance De Lune vs Budriguez |
|
By:
used to love miles....but sadly i think he's on the decline......and greg m8 drop off the 4, everythings 4 in the run and the finish, funny second is called second and third is called third but fourth not only in the run is called 4 also at the finish
|
|
By:
Half wrong lol
Half wit |

By:

|
By:
Who? The judge
|

Maybe Melbourne's race caller should be like Mark Shean in Sydney's R7 Shoot Out gets up to beat Monton, Silence is golden, does not even have a go. Obviously to viewers on TVN Shoot Out gets up last stride. Theatre starts Richard Callender takes over and selects the winner before numbers are up to the Public. PLEASE.
|
|
By:
Just to rub a bit of salt into the Sydney wound.
Richard Callenders selections for the day.  R1. Tunes. Unplaced dividend/7. R2. Va Pensiero. 2/9. R3. Streama. 2/7. R4. Under The Sun. Unplaced/9. R5. Famous Seamus. Unplaced/10. R6. Danleigh. 3rd/12. R7. Impetuous. Unplaced/11. R8. Uate. 3/11. What I am trying to say is "These 2 Sydney experts Mark Shean and Richie Callender are the greatest double act in the history of horse racing salesmanship." No profit but plenty of hot air. |

By:
Looks like neither horses nose is on the line to my eye
|
|
By:
the racing plate below pdl's nose was the winner
|
|
By:
At least its on the line, Budriguez wins by a short half hoof
|
|
By:
Monday Mike pretty sure Shean said the thought Shoot Out won, when he says i think he got up i think that he is going for one, no?
I was on course and he went for Shoot Out in the call and said ' from my angle Shoot Out has won" |
|
By:
Mike has his own "reality", Starry. No point discussing things with him in terms of "facts".
Didn't you once have a connection to TVN? Worked there? Or am I mistaken? |
|
By:
No i think you are mistaken There is No Spoon
I much prefer them to Sky and have defended them a few times i would say because as a punter they have provided me with more info than the other mob but have never worked in racing, just a punter. |
|
By:
Ok, I'm wrong again
 I think I remember you defending them. My dis-satisfaction relates to only ONE part of their coverage. Apart from that I agree with you, TVN  Cheers PS. I don't even watch Sky |

By:
Racecallers should not think in a photo finishs S2, its like a safe eachway bet, its the same as I dont know. Dont think do. Letting cameramen do the job for them after the race is not a good look either.
|
|
By:
I would rather they think than declare and get it wrong
|
|
By:
Monday Mike are you smoking something?
2nd march you say callers should stick their neck out and now you are saying they should not think something one. ???????????? If a caller says he think something has won surely thats his preference, Shean didnt say he thought Monton won, he said he thought Shoot Out won. A bobbing head is faster than the eye i would think so they are always going to make mistakes but Miles has stuffed 5 photos in 5 weeks and Shean has probably got 3 wrong in 5 years, having said that we are sitting at home with a white line painted across the track, we probably have a better view than they do, maybe turn the sound down sport and pick the photos yourself. |
