ngakonui grass Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Listened last night to Graham Hill who confessed he had no interest in the MC or horse racing or horses in general.He contacted Mick Guerin who answered every question he had and did it in a way that the non racing people understood. Well done to Mick Guerin and to Radio Live 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slam dunk Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 This week Radio NZ is celebrating 100 years of broadcasting. During that time racing broadcasting have played a huge part in NZ'rs way of life. The best commentator undoubtably Peter Kelly. So are we going to see mention of some of these quintessential broadcasters or the pioneers that delivered the service.. I doubt RNZ will give a fig and NZTR/TAB too apathetic to bother with any recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refresher for those here not part of that era. Note the fluency as opposed to some of the screaming some current commentators get into. Style still gives excitement even more so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA6nfXJkAsc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best clue is No1. Paris Lad ridden by Bill Andrew. Unfortunately I don't have a Turf Register. Also highly unlikely a first leg would have been a 1200m race so TVNZ has played a trick. The stipe refers to previous Autumn day so my guess is the first leg is the Anzac Mile mile of 1974 or 1975. The reason I'm interested is that I won the race preceding the Anzac mile in 1975 with rider Ronnie Franklin. A northern horse I think Prepak won the mile and Champagne Lady the second leg. Colour TV came along 1974 I think but with Peter Kelly not wearing a poppy perhaps not Anzac day. ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
