  1. Lines up for his second start in Honkers today R10, 9:40pm NZT. Local market has him at 22-1
  2. According to Twitter he’s the new caller to join Tom Wood in Hong Kong...great combo
  3. They only like the airy-fairy stuff tank, you should know that. Nobody has any balls in this politically correct age we live in to tackle the big issues.
  4. found this after a quick Google search http://www.harnesslink.com/News/Longtime-race-caller-hangs-up-his-binoculars-77446 http://www.harnesslink.com/News/New-Zealand-caller-set-for-a-bright-future-82681 first called Boxing Day 2009....come along way in 10 years or so. 18 or 19 years of age when he started, so only natural he would be better. Learned from mistakes and developed so much so that he’s developed into a class called.
  5. Bet there hasn’t been too many callers call their first meeting at Reefton to go and call in Hong Kong. Wasn’t he mentored by Reon Murtha? Another Reefton connection
  6. Please can we ditch the name “Champagne Turf” its cringeworthy, should have been ditched in the 90s
  7. I have been listening to Honkers today as well...flying isn’t he! Yet wasn’t rated by the clowns at Trackside and is now calling on one of the biggest stages...go figure. McDonald well respected but IMO should just stick to the ben-hur’s.
  8. And given zero chance by the local presenters https://racing.hkjc.com/racing/english/showcase/showcase.asp
  9. Opened at over 50-1 in the HK market...sums up it’s chances I feel.
  10. You clearly don’t know HK Racing well...that is a decent class 2 field there with a few derby hopes in it. New imports to HK do not win in class 2 first up often...I’d be watching the HK preview show later when it’s online to see what they think of him and his trials. Rating of 88 first up will be tough to win off...and all his form on heavy/slow/yielding tracks, wont get many of those up there.
