GEE, Wouldn't it be great if we were all Perfect. Surely being a few seconds late now and then for some pre-race thoughts isn't a hanging offence. To say that Jims an "Absolute Joke" would have to be one of the most RIDICULOUS, UNDESERVING and FURTHEREST FROM THE TRUTH statements that i have read on this site.

I don't care if he is there pre-race, but when he gets there 3 seconds into the race and he can't call for the first lap - cause he's out of breath, that's when it's not on.... Jimmy gets paid to call races - that's what he should do and if he is so pre-occupied with gambling rather then calling, then maybe he should give the job to someone who wants it - like a Mark Lydemore, who does a good job and is on time all the time + doesn't bet when he's calling, so is not biased when calling a race....

give me a spell, jimmy out of breath has a HUNDRED YARDS on lydemore, even if you let lydemore sit in the box for 3 days before the first.

I've been at Gawler and Globe when Jimmy was too busy putting bets on and didn't get up stairs for the start of the race.. if it happened once or even twice, that's ok, but this is a regular thing now.... he gets paid to do a job and it's unacceptable that he be too busy betting to do his job... ffs get a tab account and bet on that...
Jimmy is a very good caller and an even better form analyst, but needs to get his priorities right - does he want to bet as they are scoring up to get the 'overs' or call races??? He can't do both...

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA? normally he bets then makes the overs by talking crap to all the idiots at home and in tabs, in that aspect, it'd be better if he just ran up to the box every time, it'd be better for the people that do their form.
