Love these old stories but if it wasn't on the tele how did you know how accurate the calls were. Funny how racing was so big then and no vision and now you can watch everything and nobody is interested -

He told a story when commentating. I don't know how he managed to say so much so often and at the right time in a race. In those days we listened on radio as only the big races were televised. You could listen to Jack and feel like you were there. "Grand sight in sunshine..." "Jack Smolenski gives the dust sheet a tap or two and his charge is out by a length at the moment..." Every race was somehow different as in he didn't often repeat himself like some commentators do - Tony Lee and his last little bit, they're chasing a memory etc. Reon Murtha was good too but not as colourful as Jack. -
Jack O'Donnell was right up there as one of the very best -
