Hoiles Machin Fitzgerald Worst (by some considerable margin) Scahill - just lists the horses from front to back then repeats until the race is run Jim "on settling down" McGrath Derek "they're not messing around" & "that's one for the judge" Thompson |

Despite being an efficient & accurate caller, Dessie Scahill can be particularly annoying when not even informing us who is on the left (or right) when horses have very similar colours, and pre-race, he has NOTHING at all to say!
As we all know, he hardly ever mentions a particular set of silks that's making up ground. I once heard he has little interest in racing (not sure if it's true) but he evokes little enthusiasm throughout a race and he's effectively commentating on equine bingo! |

1. Holt 2. Hunt 3. Machin Johnson has the potential to be top 2 but is tremendously smug and tries to make too many 0-55 h'caps sound like the derby. Worst - Is Very easy The 2 utterly useless Irish commentators. HTF is Scahill let near a microphone! and 3. M Chapman - `Franko is my name, WINNING is my game'. F&%k off you pr&$. Your career ended right there. |

Cattermole is a perfectly decent commentator, cannot possibly fathom how he could make anyones bottom 3.
Thommo is hilarious. You would all be missing his `OoOGH THATS CLOSE, I'll leave that to the judge' if he stopped. Hoiles is very good. Bartless could be very good but sounds like he is just turning up for the wages. |
