How do,
I’m just watching the re-run of yesterday’s Wolvo action and I didn’t recognise the caller of the first race at all. Presumably this was someone standing in whilst the delayed Tony Ennis was still trying to get to the track, was it?

They usually get one of the RP reporters to fill in, I seem to remember Colin Roberts doing this in the past (might have been Towcester) so as he was on duty yesterday could have been him.
If you have a copy of yesterdays RP check who the judge was – it is not unknown for them to step in.
If the judge was someone like Felix Wheeler then it wold be a distinct possibility.
Ta all. It wasn’t Colin Roberts on this occasion – the gentleman’s timbres were a little more northwestern here. On further reflection he sounded a fair bit like Eric Windsor, who calls a number of the point-to-point meetings in Cheshire and North Wales (I heard him in action at the now-defunct Eaton Hall three years ago), though I don’t know enough about him to say whether he’d be that likely to have been at Wolvo in any capacity on Friday.
