Max Presnell and Ken Callander are great mates but can’t concur on which horse will win the race named in their honour at Randwick on Saturday.
Pressmen Max Presnell and Ken Callander come from an era when you had to have “Sir” before your name to be recognised with a race in your honour, but times have changed.
“We have taken over a race that was named after Stan Fox, who had thousands of horses and was the Godolphin of his time, and we are just reporters that love the turf.”Racing NSW decided last year to give a nod to the men who took racing to the masses. It starts with the Tapp-Craig, which is named after the legendary racecallers John Tapp and Ian Craig, which leads into the Callander-Presnell for a $1 million prize pot.
“We have been mates for 60 years,” Callander said. “It just seems right if I was going to have this honour that it comes with Max, and it made it easier to accept, and better. “You learn from talking to them because they have seen it all before. They can tell something that you might not have thought about.”
