  Just watching the Albany replays and a very embarrassing call by Craig Morrison in Race 1.

  
  

  Got the stablemates Budd Sidewinder and Milliondollahanova completely mixed up and did not admit to his mistake even when he realised it as they crossed the line.

  A very good radio caller - i noticed that too - only excuse would be maybe the race book had the colours aarse about - but surely he watched them in the prelim - they were the top 2 in the betting
  
  Also in King Crockers race ( which i was on ) something made a dash out wide - im pretty sure he originally called that as AintMissbehavin the favourite  - instead it was the 20-1 pop Miss Stonebridge
  
  I dont mind him as a caller - voice etc - but he does call horses making runs which aernt that actual horse

  Craig got a little choked up in the preamble to his call of his dads memorial race. Understandable human touch but called it ok when he got going.I think the callers who call seasons at country centres are at a disadvantage in terms of familiarity at the outset.
