The aggregate dividend was ultimately increased by 6% at no cost to anyone specifically wagering on the event. Take it from there....

It's hard to soar with eagles...

Cheers

Sounds like he backed Mannertone

Yeah he is a good caller but I just think he gets a bit carried away when he sounds like he is winding himself back up again. Needs to calm down and save himself for the finish

😂

Sounded like he was going to vomit a few meeting back he got that carried away.

Your trying to concentrate on the race and he is yelling his head off.

Not his finest Benalla Cup
Called Have Plenty “have faith”
And Moonovermanhattan “moveovermanhattan”
Whoops

I guess you are more conscious of such things, what with your forum name and all !

Exactly

If Jumps racing and country Victorian racing wants to be taken seriously this guy needs to go.

He is a gimmick and a hopeless one at that.

Up to his old tricks is he? Thankfully I’m not in the country to hear it. Someone should revive the “put a sock in it” thread. Very appropriate I’d suggest.

I don’t mind the flair but I understand how it could seem over the top to some. However, I much much prefer him to the other bland country callers. He’s also very accurate in a photo finish.

he referred to the horses entered for tomorrows drought breaker as "spastic"

Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing

Methinks he will not be at Swan Hill tomorrow.

Racecaller Ric McIntosh apologises for �inappropriate� comment before Swan Hill race

A Victorian race caller has apologised for an embarrassing slip of the tongue before a race at Swan Hill on Friday.

Country racecaller Ric McIntosh was forced to apologise on Saturday after a shocking and �socially unacceptable� on-air gaffe.

As horses were being loaded ahead of the last race at Swan Hill on Friday the Racing.com-managed Racing Victoria employee, got lost in a mindless preamble of upcoming races, including the Drought Breaker on Sunday.

The 1600m race at Swan Hill is restricted to long-time maiden � winless � gallopers.

�The Drought Breaker for all the (momentary pause) I was going to say sp---tic maidens but I better not use that term,� McIntosh said.

�The horses that have had a lot of starts, let�s say, still trying to break their duck.�

The insulting blunder was overshadowed by a dramatic fall in the corresponding race, which resulted in a jockey hospitalised and the loss of a horse.

RV has not publicly commented on the racecaller�s latest embarrassing slip-up.

McIntosh on Saturday apologised on-air on Racing.com after the first race at Swan Hill.

�I made a comment during yesterday�s broadcast which has drawn criticism and justifiably so,� McIntosh said.

�I understand and appreciate why the comment in question is and was inappropriate and socially unacceptable.

�I�m extremely disappointed for saying what I did and I acknowledge there is no excuse nor justification.

�It does not reflect the values of Racing.com, Racing Victoria or Ric McIntosh.

�But I�m extremely disappointed as I know the offence caused hurt to many people.

�I apologise unreservedly to all.�

McIntosh, known for his colourful and knockabout style of commentary, has publicly supported disgraced trainer Darren Weir in past race calls.

Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing

No one suggests it was ok.

He apologised, seems sincere.

Move on.

If he repeats, then obviously take a harder stance

Storm in a teacup......
