Never forget the day back over 35 years ago when the last race was the Welter, and Max was giving his thoughts on the race.

:-?

He went thru a few and then came to one of my favourite horses at the time....Maximite.

:-bd

Anyway Max says this and I never forgot it......."number 8 is Maximite at 33/1. Now Maximite....but Maxi might not!"

:)) =))

As a young bloke that made me laugh.

Plus that day Maurie Boyd and Sid Gibson had 'tuned' me for being an under age bookies clerk.

#-o

So I lashed out and doubled my normal bet of 50 cents each way to $1 each way on Maximite.

\:D/ =D> :-c

Sure enough, old Maximite saluted and I was super stoked.

:x :x

And I loved Max from that day on. A simple memory of a ripper bloke.

:x :)>-

And you are right Max & George, the best at there prime, different type of callers than those in their chairs now

Ridersonthestorm33 · January 2016

Remember when he ceased calling at Ascot and Belmont...it wasn't quite the same being at the races and that was no criticism of any new commentators that took his place but more a reflection of just how good he was. His work at the races , 6WF radio and later the same night on ABC television was done with aplomb and professionalism. Thanks for the great memories.

Legless · January 2016

.RIP Max

luap · January 2016

Rest easy, Max

Lots of laughs at the Calcutta at the Mangrove hotel.

JayJay · January 2016

Max called many meetings at the trots..filled in for George when George was at the Olympics,Commonwealth Games, Interdominions over east etc.....did it on his ear, not a problem. Was a genius in correctly nailing close photo finishes and had a wicked sense of humour beneath his mellow tones.

SLIPPERGOLDEN · January 2016

Max was a great racecaller and certainly deserves the plaudits.

Muldoon · January 2016

Such a nice bloke to go with been a very good caller

Chris · January 2016
