The bloke is genuine, and a workaholic. I think he was a good presenter. He might not be everyone's cup of tea as a commentator but he's always in demand.

He'll be missed, part of the furniture for decades and a very passionate horse racing man.

He has a true story about the time Sheikh Mohammed invited him over to Dubai.
He was in the stables with the good sheik when an; "Arab walked in" The sheik introcued the guy as a policeman from Hatta who was to train his horses and he wanted Thommo to, "teach him English" so says Thommo, " I taught Saeed Bin Surror English"   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3PBEzEp6xk around 19:30 mins in. |

Tommo's greatest achievement - slimeball successfully swerving spending time at Her Majesty's Pleasure!

Mystic Meg was hoping to be at Wolverhampton tonight, but couldn't make it due to...

Will be call "Phhhooooootttttoooooo" last race as thr winner wins by 3L?
Will be choke up a little? Will he sound like he's got a rhubarb and custard sweet in his gob mid race? Will he shed a tear? Like all those retiring I wish him well. Always an achievement to work 3/4 of your life and a send off is nearly always deserved. Feet up now Tommo...enjoy  |
|
By:
He says "there's a few surprises lined up but he doesn't know the details".
Saeed Bin suroor turns up to thank him for "teaching him English", perhaps. "I'll leave that one to the Betfair forumites" |

Oisin turns up, begging - “Can you help me Thommo. I can’t get rid of this khount Chapman. Can you please get him to retire”?
|

Another one bites the dust thankfully, rinsed the sport for all it was worth, put in a glass bookcase with Sir Bob, only break in an emergency... albeit 30 years to late.

Met him at Dubai Airport once, absolutely charming.

Shook the great man's hand when he opened a shop in my town,been in the game a long time, good luck to him
|
|
By:
Should be a market up for his final words, imo
That's one for the judge, obviously odds on Too close to call, second fav If the last one wins by a margin, Poor Thommo will be apoplectic |
|
By:
He's done Reg.
Darren whatshisname said this is Thomo's last commentary, anywhere earlier. Not quite correct because the big fella has already stated he'd be over in Jersey commentating as he has done for many a year. Not sure when that will be but he says he enjoys going there. Pay him in Jersey royals no doubt. |

By:
anyone know why 'Barty' did the last two races ?
well might have been 3 actually coz i missed the 8pm race ? Racetech must have paid both coz there's no way Thommo would chuck Barty a few quid to do the last few races. |
|
By:
Presumably Tommo stopped halfway through the card to leave time for a glass of champagne with the great and good of Redcar racecourse (and hopefully a small, tasteful and above all expensive keepsake).

did he have his bucket with him last night ?

---------------------------------------------- And he said: "It's a very emotional evening. The phone hasn't stopped. There's been a message virtually every 40 seconds – I can't believe how many there have been. We had to turn the sound off in the car getting here because it was getting ridiculous. "I've had messages from Frankie Dettori and William Buick. And they've come from some people I haven't seen for years – one said 'you commentated when I had my first point-to-point ride nearly 60 years ago'." "I got a lovely message from Nicky Henderson, who sent me a personal text," said Thompson. "He said: 'I wanted to say well done for a remarkable career and service to horseracing. You've been a legend and your dulcet tones will never be forgotten. It seems a long time ago to that amazing day at Plumpton, but what fun we've all had over the years. We both seem to have managed to survive! Good luck today and enjoy the rest of your journey'. Messages like that are just so wonderful." |

'service to horseracing'...
dear god... it's comments like that that really gets my back up... it's his fkn job Nicky... he's not done it for free ffs... there ain't no service to horseracing... it's called making a living... the racing establishment... a bunch of runtbags. |
