Nice result from Speedy Squib at Tamworth.

Looked the leader and overs on its first prep form.

Nice work, may not have come up last prep.

Did you bet yesterday? Did you see the Sid the Sloth money in-play? Most bizarre thing I've seen

Yeah, it looked that way. I'm forgiving when it comes to that.

On ability it was a ridiculous price and definitely worth a spec.

I was out from mid afternoon. What did I miss?

Out of the blue at Devonport, soon as they've jumped, someone wants 25k on Sid the Sloth @ $18. Horse dropped out shortly after straightening. Bet stayed there the whole race. 20k unmatched to the line... I emptied out, and wouldn't be the only one!

That's insane! Unfortunately I wouldn't have been in a position to take advantage of that.

You've got to love Betfair for some of the ridiculous scenarios it throws up sometimes.

I've seen that a couple of times but never at such a big price. Weren't you scared the caller would to a Terry Bailey? :lol:

:lol:
I spent the first 3 furlongs of the race really REALLY making sure I had the right horse!
Wonder if BF will give me a half a million credit incase it happens again :P

Went back through my records to find this comedy gold.

Winner Geoffrey Dean called as Dayzari. Remember this one because the caller never apologised after realising his mistake.

My old mate Col Hodges calls winner Super Asset as Categorically.

Favourite Consoling Amy gets left at the barriers. Caller doesn't pick it up until well into the race. At 0:36 you can see the horse at the top of the screen.

Winner Who Gives A Hoot called as Orthros.

Saving the best for last.

Favourite Sand Dune is left in the barriers but the caller calls it in the run! It was still trading at $3-4$ approaching the turn.

The last three calls are from Wagga caller Alan Hull.

Enjoy

Those links are broken this morning. Annoying!

If anyone is interested you might have to look them up on the racing nsw site.
