Season five of On The Record kicks off as we go one-on-one with Fred Hastings. Fred is the voice of harness racing in New South Wales, including at Penrith which has become like a second home to the western Sydney born and bred race caller. We talk to Fred about his life and career, and get some insight into what it takes to be a race caller.
