Well Tommo was ‘not messing around’ today with his two tips for TalkSport:
Thehonouablelady 1st 7/1
Pharaohs Queen 2nd 7/1Well done big fella
My favourite Thommo moment was when he was calling a race at Redcar (or could have Newcastle) for C4 and a bemused old man ducked under the rails and started to very slowly walk across the course in front of the advancing group of runners.
Thommo said something like "What’s that Old Codger doing? He’s gonna get…Oh, that was close" as the man realised the danger at the last moment and took evasive action.
Could have been a tragic incident but luckily all ended well.

Yes, I often wonder how the good Lord Oaksey is doing these days.

I’m presuming (as I can’t view it at work) that the link is to the infamous race in the fog.
Was anyone unlucky enough to hear his ‘commentary’ on the recent North v South jockeys footy match highlights on ATR.
Made his race commentaries appear good.http://play.www.atr.servecast.net/ppv/atr/frameset.asp?va=FOL_2005_03_30_07_1710
That clip is magic, Thommo at his best
Nothing like as amusing, but Richard Hoiles has a better stab at a fog bound commentary – at least he admits in commentary that he is scraping the barrel.

"there’s a light on…"
Classic.
It’s like with Thommo.

LOL, that was funny! and so good to see people being nice… ok maybe not nice but ‘ok-ish’ about him haha.
Tommo is a legend! Know so many people slate him but as a racing personality you don’t get much better, it’d be so boring without him.Rock on tommo
