I was listening to it this afternoon. He was mimicking the Dominos advert ( which I hate anyway…) so I checked out the horses in the race and none of them were called Domino or anything like it. And then he made some sort of weird joke at the end of another race that made no sense either. (Having just watched the replays it was Bang Bang or BANG BANG !!!!)
“I was listening to it this afternoon. He was mimicking the Dominos advert ( which I hate anyway…) so I checked out the horses in the race and none of them were called Domino or anything like it.”
It was the name of the race. Agree he sounded absolutely mental doing it but fair dues he got into the spirit of the thing.
Thanks. Now it makes sense ( she says mimicking the M&M’s advert but without the biting bit).
I dislike his commentaries at the best of times.
At the start of some of the jumps races, it sounds like he can’t be arsed to even do the commentary, but does so under duress.
Then when he does start, it’s the usual monotonous drone through the order of horses, same again, but with the jockeys names added, pop in the race name and sponsor and that’s pretty much it, but regurgitated……..unless of course there is any semblance of a close finish and then it can get quite frightful.
Don’t forget how in jumps races he usually says “They’ve gone past their place of departure”.
Occasionally he says something bizarre. I recall when a horse was clear but made an awkward shape over the last fence and he said it had “jumped it like a bag of hammers”.
“Unless of course there is any semblance of a close finish and then it can get quite frightful.”
ROARING BULL!!
That commentary was quite funny, to be fair. Even though he only noticed ROARING BULL about ten yards from the finish.
