Recommended Posts

I can understand a commentator/presenter getting mixed up occasionally eso with new horses or difficult names but..

here's the thing

SAVASON

Three syllables. SAV A SON ... The horse is a son of SAVABEEL (duh

Is SAVABEEL'name ever pronounced as anything other than SAV (as in Hav, gav and pav) A - BEEL (rhymes with  meal, feel and wheel) ???

No.

Both the caller and presenter today called this SON of SAVABEEL ....SAVER-SON and SAH- VA -SON

Come on lads its not rocket science (at last, not in this case!)

 

Rant (rhymes with pant) over.

Actually I have an idea, pronunciation could be one of Tommy's winning strategies. Mardi can you please do research on anything that is even remotely pronounced incorrectly and see what its winning % is please. 

Please pay particular notice to anything in blinkers or 3yr olds after xmas.

I have extensive data, but sadly not that. We will have to refer to the guru, Thomass on understanding such things. I'm sure he will have worked it all out and have loads of winners for us tomorrow.
