Big loss but seeing as he enjoyed Harness more...yea na...onya bike McNamara to return to Australia 8 July 2019 , News By Michael Guerin New Zealand racing is losing one of its rarest talents with leading commentator Mark McNamara returning home to his native Australia. The voice of predominantly Canterbury racing will call his last meeting in this country at Addington on August 22 before returning home to Australia for family reasons. McNamara has been snapped up by leading Australian racing channel Sky and will commentate and present for them starting in September. “I’ll be sad to go but I am also looking forward to the new challenge,” says McNamara. “I’m going home to be closer to family so it is a personal decision but on a professional level I am thrilled to have a role with Sky and looking forward to seeing where that takes me.”McNamara has been commentating in New Zealand for 10 years and the now 40-year-old quickly became a favourite with racing’s fans. While he has the most obvious and important of commentating skills, accuracy, a strong voice and an understanding of racing, his quirkiness helped make racing interesting. McNamara also developed strong ties with both the thoroughbred and standardbred industries, enabling him to add personal touches to his commentaries. “I have loved it here and have worked with so many good people so I really want to thank them,” says McNamara. “And whoever gets the role I wish them the best because it is a real privilege.” McNamara is adept at calling either equine code — his Te Akau Shark commentary in the Couplands Mile this season added fun, hype and a narrative to what was a seemingly obvious odds-on winner. But it was when calling harness racing that he was world class and when feeling at home at Addington he produced some of his most famous quips. “I’ve been lucky enough to call some great, great horses but Terror To Love’s third New Zealand Cup, after he galloped away at the start, that was my favourite race. “And as much as I have loved Riccarton and so many of the other tracks I have been lucky enough to call at, Addington has been my home track so I’m happy my last night calling here will be there on the (August) 22nd.” While McNamara will be missed from the calling ranks Canterbury racing at least has a commentator capable of stepping into McNamara’s shoes in Matt Cross. Trackside, now run by RITA, will advertise the role but it will be a huge surprise if Cross doesn’t secure the role at main Canterbury commentator. While young he has developed into a very professional broadcaster and as a local has enormous knowledge of the industry in the region. To that extent the racing industry may have dodged a bullet as Cross was nearly lost to an overseas job last year and finding a similarly-qualified replacement for McNamara would have been incredibly difficult. Cross would be a deserved caller of the New Zealand Trotting Cup, which sits alongside the Vodafone Derby at Ellerslie as New Zealand’s greatest horse race. McNamara’s move is not the only shift in the South Island commentating ranks with Jason Teaz stepping away from his fulltime job as commentator in Otago and surrounding regions to work on a contract basis. That will see veteran caller Dave McDonald add the Forbury Park greyhounds to his extensive duties in the short-term while former Victorian commentator Craig Rail, who recently moved to New Zealand, will call Forbury Park harness and possibly other meetings in the region as a contractor.

Just remember when you're dealing with some of these ignorami ATA... They also ignore...unlucky runs, wide without cover, track specialists... ...they treat neddys like robots when horses can be in and out of form...who knew? They practise extreme sophistry...when they're actually punces without clothes "I expect my rider to get said neddy into the best position possible" Maybe they think they're betting on Winged Horses?? But that's Phantasy..we know it...but they dont hahaha

An absolute Pommy Punting legend with Personality Plus...passed away We could do with his like here...enjoy F

Great new bet type introduced to NSW...this is what we need here to capture the instant gratification Generation Zee...to compete with Sport betting... Hello Johnny..get your boys and girls onto it...ok? ..and the great news its only 107% takeout... Racing NSW have announced a significant prizemoney boost to country racing carnivals on Tuesday with a number of races to now carry a purse of $200,000. Eight country cups, including Port Macquarie, Goulburn, Albury, Wellington, Tamworth, Wagga Wagga, Scone and Grafton, will be worth $200,000 from next season. Prizemoney for the Ramornie Handicap at Grafton, the Wagga Wagga Town Plate and Scone's Dark Jewel Quality has also been boosted to $200,000. The Coffs Harbour and Muswellbrook Cups will receive an increase in prizemoney to $150,000 each, while the Taree Cup, Dubbo Cup and Snake Gully Cup at Gundagai rise to $100,000. Also, the feature meetings at Lismore, Coonamble, Coonabarabran, Mudgee, Moruya, Bega and Orange have received significant increases for their Cups and support races at these meetings. Another initiative for the feature country meetings is a $50,000 ‘Country Magic’ race which is restricted to country-trained horses only. The total annual prizemoney for country racing in NSW will now exceed $81 million, an increase of $48 million since 2012. TAB, in conjunction with Racing NSW, also officially launched the new bet type 'Odds and Evens' on Tuesday, with hopes the product will fund the $7.5 million Golden Eagle at Rosehill. The parimutuel bet type was given a soft launch over the weekend by TAB. TAB's new bet type 'Odds and Evens' Odds and Evens requires a punter to simply select if the saddlecloths of the first two placegetters will be either odd numbers, even numbers or split, where one is an odd number and the other is even. Racing NSW chairman Russell Balding said the product was designed to attract the younger demographic. "The bet type is not only simple, but it is entertaining," Mr Balding said. "Importantly, it is utilising the mobile digital devices that the younger demographic use today. And so we are looking to reach out and access that younger demographic, particularly also those people who may not have access to the detailed race form that a lot of us do have." To maximise liquidity of the new product, the pool is merged with quinella bets. It will be available on all race meetings wagered on through the NSW TAB from Tuesday.

Make that another 3 in a row after that APPRENTICE MASTERCLASS... 13 Races in a row claimed by CDApprentices...and some say 0.1L = 1Kg... hahahaha

Where on Earth do you get your crap info from...Trumps FAKE NEWS?? Downs claimed 3 kgs...taking the slowest part of the BOG...and clearly won due to the allowance... FANNIN claimed as well... As you were...as you were??

No, originally I'd posted it under 'Animal Abuse' but the Chief didn't like that and took it down...perhaps he likes the 'abuse'? Interesting how each society judges things like this...IRISH EXAMINER Look at the end...Irish Integrity? Yea na By Stephen Barry Nothing we saw at Cheltenham came close to matching the final-fence drama of this Cork point-to-point race. The Prestbury Park meeting may have been the highlight of the year for many Irish racing followers, but those at Ballyarthur, near Fermoy, witnessed a truly memorable finish earlier this month. The Village Inn Bar adjacent hunt maiden for novice riders was progressing over the three miles as expected until the approach to the last, as Artic Fever seemed to be the only horse left in the race. We could try to describe the drama of multiple refusals, unseated riders and the possibility of a race with no finisher, but it's best to judge for yourself... In the end, after nearly 10 minutes of energy-sapping racing on heavy ground, Two Sams took the win "by a process of elimination". As the commentator Declan Phelan said, it's a win trainer Michael 'Trixie' Barry and jockey Gary Noonan are "never going to forget" in "one of the all-time great adjacent hunt maidens". Thanks to Kilworth & Araglen Point To Point and IRIS - Racecourse Integrity Services for the footage.

Well with the Trainers Association having a massive influence on NZTR...it's hard to imagine it changing anytime soon.... ...and of course the BREEDERS who decreed there "shall be no G1 Iconic Handicaps...no more ...ok?" So obviously they think PUNTING doesn't have much place in their industry...

Pretty much globe is on the mark... The Shark tips all 3 codes..then has a killer instinct for Sport as well... ...he/she never sleeps and is in constant marketing mode...The Shark does this...The Shark loves that..,The Shark's always on the move..hunting down prey for the Punter to profit...that https://www.tab.co.nz/punters/tips

Cmon what's the go with FOXTON ffs? Are you lot on the Committee committed to getting racing back there.. ...or just stirring the NZTR types and making political statements to further the stubbornness factor when forced into a corner by the suits? This place is a good reason why a NZ Racing dictator should be in charge to make things happen isn't it..and why country Committees don't work... ...after all...who's in control of NZ Racing... Its the Clubs isn't it...looking after their own self interests??

More GREAT news Kopa!! Winn has got this..he's gone to the Well..and pulled out a luminary in Deano...who's not wet behind the airs...and the whole lot of Rita's have gravitas...ok? As for the World Economy...all indicators are pointing to recessional type conditions...even with the magic of Jacinda wee old NZ can only do her best in times of trouble.. ...and that involves INFRUSTRUCTURE type investments to stimulate the country...including you In the meantime I feel you need a good dose of emotional self management...instead of going off half cocked like your fellow lunatic Gun Holding licensees... ...enjoy...I usually sit back with a Stogie and a glass of Poiten...best

Maybe we should leave it to the experts on the field here... Lance O'Sullivan... ..whenever he was on a neddy with a big weight...he'd try to race a whole lot handier ..as he found the reaction time to accelerate was slower as the weight increased...
