and 9 times out of 10 it costs me money, because of the moz that he has just put on.
fair dinkum he has an extraordinary gift.
who else in this world can stop them, just by using mere words that are the opposite of what is about to happen? :twisted: :evil: :roll:
Honestly, i don't care if he doesn't call 2nd or 3rd, it's not going to change the fact if you are going to have a collect or not.
Personally, i would rather a lecture from my mother-in-law, than listen to Ryan Bell or Mark Shean. True, they are accurate, but their voices are so irritating. They spoil the spectacle. Darren, Greg and Paul Ambrosoli have a easy listening tone to listen to.
But, to say that Darren puts a mocker on a selection of yours, you need to go to McDonald's, go to the straw dispenser, then clutch them.
oh fair dinkum kerrin, where's your sense of humour, the guy has no idea of how they are travelling, and i would be amazed if he does not get embarrassed because he is so bad at it.
he's so bloody good at mozzing them, that if i have backed three in the race, he can stop 'em all!!
mcdonalds is for fatties and those that don't care for their health, so would not be caught dead(or would be!) in one, and i would be very surprised if i ever needed to clutch at straws.
maybe the park bench will beckon one day, but i've kept it at bay for about 35 years running so far.
And BTW has'nt Stew served his time ? Build a bridge & move on.
You are 100% correct. It's their job to get it right, but all i'm saying is that Darren was very apologetic after the race. He even announced it over the loudspeaker. He would be feeling very dark on himself. But, compared to the problems in the world, it's only a race call. The totes pay out on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. It's that simple. The call is irrelevant in the big scheme of things.
I can't stand the voice of Ryan Bell, so i turn the volume down. I heard he's a very nice guy, so it's nothing personal, it just grates on me.
It's not man love, but i like listening to Darren, Max Simmonds and Greg Miles. I don't care if they get a photo wrong, it doesn't change the result.

Agree with your sentiments regards Stewie. Was absolute top notch.
cheers
The last one was when I threw away an each-way ticket the genius called over the line as 6th, and actually ran third...
With Ryan's calls he provides a steady & accurate description all the way through in running, and has a greater accuracy rate of placings through the entire field in order after finishing IMO.
And is getting better all the time - and isn't a lair who assigns his own nicknames to everyone.
keen young bloke but please. excellent dog caller should be calling all WA dogs.
he is years away if ever of being a city caller. has the most crating voice and corny phraes.
Rbell will be next with the bloke in Singapore watching closely.
After that probably the person to take it on hasnt started calling yet.
anyway cant see Macca giving it away for years,
Its a forum if people want to express there thoughts then let them if you dont like then dont read it !!!!
As a mate, I can tell each and every one of you that Darren was devastated on Saturday night and even on Sunday he was remorseful of what occurred.
He apologized on the day as any caller should do in that situation.
Big Hold Up was the favourite in the feature and what occurred shouldn't have happened but it did.
Boys and girls - build a bridge and get over it. Move on a new day is dawning.
I know that everyone on this site is faultless in their individual fields of employment. Mistakes are never made. They probably are but because it isn't in the public eye they may go unnoticed. Sure in the public eye scrutiny is there but we do have a habit of eating our own.
If I wanted to be a lowlife, I could spill the beans, so to speak, on some of the individuals on this site and situations that arose in their family life and what has transpired over time. It isn't part of racing but it involves the individuals. It would be very embarrassing for those individuals and it would create great fodder for the racing industry. Is it necessary - I don't think so.
Why not create a kiss and tell post - I have some wicked truths that some may not want to hear but others will love.
Does an owner who posts on this site hide the fact that he is having an affair with another man. Not quite but very similar innuendos can be raised and ultimately could very easily be proven.
That won't happen for obvious reasons but in all honesty do we always need to kick the individual when he is down.
"He can't call"
"He got 3rd wrong"
"He called my horse last when it ran second last"
"He got the name wrong"
"He talks too much"
Sometimes it is like being back in the playground at primary school.
Who do we pick on today. Lets attack Mark Reed, why not curse Adam Durrant, no let us put a spell on Clint Harvey. Lets get rid of David Shortte and replace him with Jesus Christ. The stewards aren't addressing the problems so we will get new ones headed up by Judge Judy.
Have an opinion but be constructive and consider whether individuals need to be attacked. Some of the abovementioned have received bad posts but some of those posts have been constructive criticism which we all should be able to take.
Most of us in this game are in it because we love it. We all make mistakes. It isn't fun and we don't go out of our way to make those mistakes but they are part and parcel of everyday existence.
I make mistakes everyday that I do form on a race meeting. Sure I cop the criticism which is deserving but I'm having a go and isn't that Australian.
I try to do my best just like most within this industry but as time goes by, reading some of the posts on this forum, I may as well get an AK 47 and shoot every bastard that cops a spray on here because they are no good.
Yes I know, "if you don't like reading the posts don't get on this site".
I do like reading most of the posts but lets be men about it. It is easy being a faceless name, being game and scathing in your posts but hiding behind a pseudonym.
If I have upset anyone I apologize as I do not wish to create enemies, I love my job despite making mistakes. If you wish to have a go at me don't be afraid to send me a personal message including your real name.
Have a good week on the punt.
