"As they 'Go under the WIRE' for the first time."
2 mile race at Southwell = First time past the Winning Post - first circuit.

His worst habit is that he's usually still telling you what's 12th when the leaders have got about 50 yards to race. Bl00dee awful commentator.

I remember last Breeder's Cup the plastic Yank and Rachel Candelabra doing a preview night.
The pair of them spoke with such confidence about who would win etc. They looked so pleased with themselves Obviously the picks proved to be useless. Blowhard guessers. |

when he first started years ago he was nothing like he is now, he was actually pretty good, then along came this copycat act of a certain US commentator, all the saying and phrases, basically plagiarism, it's all he does now.

"Bunching up at the lane," that is wrong on every level. " Setting the fractions" is another.
He's absolutely appalling as a race caller. |

There was one in Hong Kong that made me smile.
Horse blew a handicap apart on the bridle (clearly a couple stone well in) and the commentator said - wow he absolutely brained them! As a one off it was funny but all the time like Scraping the paint or Catching the wind…lord no no no |

At least with Aussie Jim it was natural rather than affected.
