*track side presenters..

[holy ravioli]

Watching the races tonight..late meeting at Melb..I do wonder if these trackside presenters have any useful purpose.

They are a bit like a consultant..lend them your watch and they'll tell you the time.

Most people can read and have ears so I think these guys should be dispensed with.

Big savings too if the salaries I've heard they're paid are true.

Don't agree.  They add plenty to a broadcast.  No problem with the Aus ones.  We have a problem recognising talent in NZ and sometimes give people the job for the wrong reasons - mates, used to work for us in another position - which is a society wide issue which racing does not have on its own but tend to stand out when they're on TV.  So I have a problem with a couple of our ones but am ardent admirers of others.

I find the studio crossover NZ commentators dull and boring .

[Mark D]

Generally I agree - but always dependent on who it is.

Let's face it though ravi 

How f in boring would this job be?

And Imagine the comedown for the likes of Tan...having to comeback from the giddy heights of HK..

To reading prices for the Dipton f in Dogs?

So Mark Rosanowski on track at Trentham today in place of Bev and Rodders and the supposed "A team"and after just 1 race and post race interviews - great interviews pure class and professionalism. Underused talent

I've always liked Rozzo as a presenter.  Very knowledgeable and doesn't come across as a know all.

Pleasant change to the other two.
