Why are English race callers so indecisive??

[Stockdale]

Ive noticed it as long as ive watched racing from the UK and it starts to get frustrating. As i am watching them on TV its not so bad because i can see for myself who has won but if i want to tune in on the radio i may as well just wait for the results to come through. Sitting at home i can quite easily tell if a horse has won but these race callers continue to sit on the fence when there is a neck in it at the end! Seriously what are they getting paid for? Watching the last race at Musselburgh just pushed me over the edge on it tonight. Just stop sitting on the fence and do what you're paid to do!

Re: Why are English race callers so indecisive?? I agree with you somewhat as I, too, seem to be able to spot the winner in a close call now and again but isn't it best to wait for the official call? They often give an unofficial call but mention that it can look a bit misleading to the naked eye due to camera angle.
