The Sausage Sizzle of Remembrance
Description
People flock to the Sporting Probe for controversy. For hard-hitting opinions. For radical solutions. And most definitely for vision.
And this week Rampaging Roy Slave and HG Nelson deliver in spades as they tackle the big issue of advertising a horse race barrier draw on the sails of the Sydney Opera House.
In a nutshell, the world’s greatest broadcasters say, ‘A good start but how about the Parrot and the NSW Premier get real.’
First, Roy and HG propose punting on the barrier draw is an obvious innovation (Hint: a nationwide TV show jam-packed with entertainment and family-friendly betting.)
Second, how about a TAB outlet at the Opera House so punters can get a bet on at interval during, say, a La Boheme performance (Hint: very classy operation to keep elites happy.)
Third, a four-wheel drive hill climb race course over the Opera House sails (Hint: Roy says Jorn Utzon would support this: “He loved his racing, his dogs, his cars …”)
Fourth, how about using the Opera House forecourt as a car yard (Hint: You go to, say, La Boheme and go home in a new car. How good is that!)
Look, there’s more but if that doesn’t have you licking your lips in anticipation there’s Golf Month, The Bachelor, cricket, AFL, Kumuls, Winx and the best night Roy and HG ever had.
All aboard!
