    Quote: from SirHarryLewis on 10:05 am on June <br>I suppose you have to keep talking.  Thats the problem with any tv or radio work isnt it Kingston???  Sometimes you really just need to shut up and think but you arent always affored the option.<br>

    <br>Exactly Sir Harry – my very first time on and they crossed early so there was dead air for about 8 seconds – believe me that was a lifetime!  <br>It was pointed out with no holds barred by the producer as well afterwards……….. which really did the nerves a lot of good! :biggrin:

    There are loads of presenters in Australia and the majority of them are extremely self-confident in their day-today lives, which obviously is what you need to be, but there are a couple on now who are far less so – and they are less cocky about the whole thing and come across as quite ordinary people. :cool: <br>

    Not great quality Kingston but you can see the route BB took.<br>

    Thanks Cormack – no that move didn’t really help any did it?

    "I will leave England on the weekend and enjoy a short holiday in Europe," said Gai Waterhouse. <br>"I will come back to Newmarket on the 5th of July and we will re-evaluate his progress and make a decision re a start in the July Cup."

    Janiak is toying with a) retiring Takeover Target, b)taking him home and running in the Salinger (Nov 3) or c) possibly staying and running in the July Cup ………….. no uncertainties there then ;)

    Freedman has said Miss Andrettti will go home and Peter Moody will wait until the end of the week before making a decision on Magnus, all depends on how he pulls up.<br>Waterhouse is yet to decide on Bentley Biscuit.

    I did a stint on racing television about a year and a half ago…. I was never sure what was more terrifying :o , facing the cameras the first time knowing everything was going out live, the thought of swallowing the microphone, making sure I didn’t drop the microphone (as hands were shaking extremely noticeably) or………… reading the various racing forum afterwards. <br>Thank god that short lived career is now over  :biggrin:

    Thanks for that. :cool: I wasn’t able to see the race so was wondering how he went – he’s much better than the run suggests but he has had a very hard campaign in Australia and I thought he was over the top when he left. <br>Thanks for the welcome too :biggrin:

    Glad that was quickly cleared up re Choisir’s trainer ;) <br>There is no more gracious trainer around than Paul Perry, one of nature’s gentleman.

    :biggrin: Hello<br>There’s been talk in Australia that the connections of Bentley Biscuit are blaming Nash Rawiller’s ride for BB’s abject performance. I thought it was the ground – was the ground really hard on the day or was it a badly judged ride?
