Mardy Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 When i was living in Chch as a young fella and going to the races Reon was the caller i heard and was always a fan so i'd rate him on top for mine.Not far behind would be Mark Mc,who hopefully is staying after reading all the comments here.And then in no particular order i'd have Tony Lee,Matt Cross,Keith Haub,George Simon.Heard a little bit of Allan Bright before he retired and he didn't do a bad job and i never had the pleasure hearing Peter Kelly or David Clarkson but sounds like they were damn good. I noticed someone mentioned Greg Miles in Aussie...yea he and Matt Hill would have too be my faves over there.Also Darren McAullay(i think) who calls in Perth seems quite good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Harry Cheadle. Race caller. Born in South Africa, but has worked in Sweden doing the trots there. Now this guy calls a spade a spade. Not afraid to voice his opinion during a race. And one time (at least) referred to a jockey during the race as "a bloody idiot" as he disagreed with the tactics employed. The bloody idiot jockey obviously knew what he was doing, as he ended up winning the race. Still, for his passion, you can't go past Harry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardy Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Yip just read the article on HRNZ,going back for family reasons.Will be sad to see him go as i've loved his call and Cup week almost won't be the same without him.Interesting that they have to advertise the job but you'd put money on Matt Cross getting the gig..be pretty rough if he was overlooked.

You can only wish him well. 10 years here is a duty well served and no one could expect him to stay in Chch forever. Sky racing is lucky to have him and I am sure they will appreciate his talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
