Listen "Episode 119: Ian Craig (Part 2)"
Episode Synopsis
In part 2 Ian reflects on the emergence of station 2KY in the Sydney thoroughbred market. He got to call the gallops from 1974 in opposition to 2UE,2GB and the ABC. He recalls the station struggled with huge costs in maintaining the service, and considered pulling out of the race.
That all changed in 1981 when 2GB dropped its racing coverage, and KY inherited the national network.
Ian recalls his favourite races from the mid 1970’s until his retirement in 2009.
