Obviously you can't include me as I still haven't seen her. Will switch on 7Plus and watch the last couple to perhaps catch her.

I'm spewing as I'm on course and cannot hear a word she says, which of course is not her fault but at least when she's on TV at the track they can put her pick on the screen in front of her SURELY c'mon guys

I'd also love to know how she is going on the tipping front ? It's always good to know if she's worth listening to, and that's not being negative but I know a couple of the girls in the E/S have quite good strike rates

Do you just hear her voice? I never saw her. Apparently there is a another female who interviewed Mills and she was supposedly fine

Damage control.......................

The
mounting yard at Ascot for the Group 1 Railway Stakes is a far cry from the
dirt track about 900km north of Perth at Tessa Daly’s hometown of Carnarvon.

However, Racing WA TV’s new
Mounting Yard Analyst, feels right at home when casting her eye over
thoroughbreds searching for feature race success.

Tessa, the daughter of
twelve-time leading trainer Peter Daly, recently joined the Racing WA broadcast
team to provide analysis from the yard for the WA thoroughbred coverage, which
is showcased live and free on 7plus.

Having taken on the role
leading into the TABtouch Pinnacles, Tessa barely had a trial run before
covering the Champion Fillies Day at Ascot in her first week.

“It was daunting at first, and
I think I can be my own worst critique, but when I get around the horses and
start talking, I feel more comfortable,” she said.

“I’ve always ended up with a
microphone in my hand at the races – hosting events like the Calcutta or
Fashions on the Field it’s something I’ve always loved.”

While new to this role
in-front of camera, Tessa has always had an infatuation for horses, helping her
dad in the stables from a young age.

“Ever since I could walk or
talk, I’ve just loved the animal and always wanted to be involved,” Tessa said.

“As a kid I always had ‘horse
flu’ at school and would travel with dad along the countryside to the race
meetings.”

Growing up in Carnarvon, Tessa
remains a member of the Carnarvon Race Club committee.

“I want to continue to promote
country racing as well, that’s my bread and butter – where I started out and
where my love for horses grew,” she said.

Racing has never been far from
the forefront of Tessa’s life, being the clerk of the course in Carnarvon for
nine years, and pretraining for her dad, then into ownership with her family as
soon as she became an adult.

“My dad has always been an
inspiration it’s amazing how many people I’ve met so far who know him”, Tessa
said.

 “I’d like to be able to
share in his legacy and do his name justice – it’s a pretty special thing to be
a part of.”

Her hands-on passion still
rings true, recently working as racing manager and foreperson for trainer Dion
Luciani and continuing to ride trackwork for Mack Hall at Ascot, which means
4am starts most mornings.  

In front of the lens, Tessa
has drawn inspiration from international presenter Francesca Cumani, and also
looks to fellow Racing WA presenters Lochie Taylor and Scott Embry as well as
the success of Brittany Taylor.  

“They all do such amazing jobs
– I love that I’m able to be a part of it and start doing what I love, being
able to promote the sport,” she said.

 “I think no matter what
you do you’ll have some people that are going to knock you, but you have to
rise above that.”

Dont really think it is damage control. If anything i reckon the article outlines why she was given the job. Pretty good cv for someone presenting for a  racing show

Damaged Control? What a warped interpretation.

sonny

When was the above article released..??

DamienWyer

This is an obvious public relations spin on the negativity expressed by others on this thread. So yes this is damage control 101.

Nothing warped about it, simple fact. Standard knee jerk reaction to previous comments on here.

No comments attributed to me are negative, I actually blamed superiors for not giving Tess any grounding or time on air to hone her skills.

warrenrobinson

Give the girl a go, thrown in the deep end, hopefully she will watch and listen to others in the Eastern States and Hong Kong.

That you did, Thought damage control was a bit rough, but when taken into the context of your other post, can understand that comment. to a degree.  I caught a bit Railways Stakes day thought Tessa did fine.

Who is the woman that interviewed Steve Mills? Local or from over east?

Just seen released today on Racing WA article,I checked the day it was released.exactly the same that is on here.

sonny

Thank You Glamour..Tess did start on the 16th and no release prior to that date..They did throw Tess in the deep end.. Hope she hits great heights and also is a talking point which creates publicity.

Vincent_vega

100% damage control

Cant tip a winner is a problem, i think she presents ok though, but she does repeat the same things over and over, not really insightful

spinking

Call it what you want. Does anyone on here know of anyone if there was anyone who was interviewed for the position. I would think female presenters who have a knowledge of the horse and the horesracing industry would be pretty light on the ground. Everone on here has an opinion about the girl and that is their right. Be it right or wrong, i do beleive though that Tessa most probaly has more knowledge about the horse and the industry than a lot of us on here. And by the way i have met here once in my life so not posting this from a personal point of view

She's from the Nar, that's raised her profile with me massively.

Most of us are used to TV presenters achieving a certain standard of proficiency before making it to the airways.

 If W.A racing are happy going to air with inexperienced amateurs, they can't complain when their product is viewed as amateurish.

thefalcon

for pharques sake leave the young woman alone. if she's reading these comments what in the hell do you think it does to her self worth and nerves when doing her job.

lay off...mods consider removing this thread.
