Episode 200: Andrew Bensley (Part 2)
In the 200th segment since our website began in 2018, Andrew Bensley looks back on his years with Sky TV and radio.
At last he reveals the origin of his well known nickname Hoss. People realised he bore a resemblance to actor Dan Blocker whose character of Hoss in the TV series Bonanza made him a household name. A top jockey was the first to give Andrew the nickname.
Andrew recalls the freezing Ballarat Cup day when he and I shared the Sky hosting.
He remembers the impact of TVN entering the racing media market.
“Hoss” looks back on the one and only time he was blacklisted by a racing stable. He gives his version of the event.
He’s usually talking to other people about top horses, great jockeys and trainers. This time we get Andrew Bensley to nominate his favourite horses and horsemen.
Andrew pays tribute to his wife and best mate Bernadette who has always understood his heavy workload. He makes special mention of his sons Keiran and Hayden.
