Listen Later

The popular caller and radio host talks about his recent retirement from the airwaves, and his intention to continue with another of his skills- the art of auctioneering.

 

Kim talks about his reaction to calling home a winner at Walcha recently at odds of $126.00- he remained composed even though he part owned the mare.

 

He talks of his love of riding and his first lesson at age 4.

 

Kim talks of his education at the famous Scots College where one of his mates was the future father of a champion jockey.

 

The versatile commentator has never forgotten the day his uncle took him to an Inglis sale. It had an enormous impact on the teenager.

 

Kim looks back on frequent visits to the greyhounds and his race calling practice sessions at Harold Park and Canterbury.

 

He looks back on the country clubs to get him started as a race caller, and the chance meeting with a former NSW Premier that led to a job with a Sydney radio station. 

 

Kim reflects on the tragic road accident that claimed the life of his wife Barbara twelve years ago. He talks of the son and daughter who between them, have given him five grandchildren.

 

The 69 year old has been following racing very closely since the early 70’s. He pays tribute to his favourite horse of that era. You might be surprised.

 

He talks of his all time favourite country horse, an iron gelding who won 36 races on NSW tracks in the 1990’s.

 

Kim makes special mention of the best horse he’s ever owned or part owned.

 

He nominates his favourite jockey from yesteryear, and his current favourite.

 

Kim closes with a look at his immediate plans in the auctioneering business.
