I don't know if he was the best but certainly the most excitable, particularly the last hundred and that honour goes to Michael Gardiner's provincial race calling uncle Renee,. and it was  a good idea to wait for the studio to confirm the numbers.

If we are going down memory lane the late Milton Cairnduff's calls were special.

I don't think this is paywalled.

No longer a race caller in Australia..Now doing the gallops in  Singapore..But was also the main Greyhound caller in WA for over a decade..... Craig Evans..

The ol' Rene from memory called the Albany and Mnt Barker races  and i remember in the mid eighties  having a fiver  for laughs on a horse called Astro Reign at around 60/1 and.I was wondering during the race whether he'd been stuck in the gates because Rene never called him once,and in his inimitable voice which he raised a few decibels in driving finishes he screamed,''and here comes Astrooo Reign right down outside and i reckon he's got up on the line''i turned around to my mate and told him that i would be waiting for correct weight before i start celebrating,and Rene on this occasion thankfully got it right.

Didn't he return to Australia two or three years ago?

Doesn't he call races in Dubai as well?

He did at one stage but I googled and maybe he got the sack?

I don't think they race there during our winter months.

BH will be pissed he missed that one too. Trevor Jenkins was a very underrated sports broadcaster in my opinion. He filled in for George Grljusich a few times on the Saturday morning talk back show and was excellent. An under utilised talent in my opinion. Only flaw he’s a one eyed West Perth supporter. Do any of you WP supporters still see TJ at WP games?
