Author: Racing Gal  Timestamp:- 10/7/2007 12:31:55 PM Subject: Re: NSW AND QLD Message: McGarrett HG Nelson has written an inspired piece on the Aussie challenge at Royal Ascot. After describing the 2007 Kings Stand he goes on in detail as to what Rooting King would have done over there. Roy's training techniques and how the King always did his best work in the mounting enclosure are covered in detail. It is on the Age website under Racing and I think it appeared on Sunday. RG

Author: mcgarret  Timestamp:- 10/7/2007 11:30:58 AM Subject: Re: NSW AND QLD Message: RG lol Some of their early SOO calls from the card table on the half way line were absolute gems. "Deborah Kerr" was inspired humour indeed. Marginally better of course than Phil Gould spraying "unbelievable" everytime someone makes a tackle. Aloha...McGarret

Author: Racing Gal  Timestamp:- 10/7/2007 9:07:13 AM Subject: Re: NSW AND QLD Message: Roy & HG have come up with some classic names during their SOO calls. Glen Lazarus - the Brick with eyes Royce Simmons - the pillow with feet Andrew Ettinghausen - The nudist Mark Gasnier - fire up b*itch Alf Langer - Deborah Kerr Tony Hearne - the penalty puller The also referred to the Walters brothers as Prune, Quince and Cumquat. That is just what I can recall, I am sure there are plenty more.
