Ray ‘Rabbits’ Warren is the legendary voice of Australian sports commentary. The son of a railway worker, Ray placed his first bet on a horse called Playboy at the age of just six, and won. A lifelong love of the track – and the punt – was born.
During his remarkable broadcasting career, which has now spanned almost five decades, Ray has called three Melbourne Cups, Commonwealth and Olympic Games swimming, and countless rugby league matches alongside his mates Fatty, Sterlo and Gus.
In this episode we dicover the man behind the microphone. He speaks with great passion, colour and candour, about his life, career and more.
