A COMMENTATOR went the extra mile to earn his crust – by belting out a pizza ad jingle during a horse-race.
Jerry Hannon already has a cult reputation – as does the catchy slogan from the commercial.
And when Hannon had the mike for Wednesday's‘Domin OH HOO HOO' Handicap at in Dublin he rose to the occasion.
Not just once, but twice!
As the race got under way at the famous course, his voice soared lyricallyas he announced: “At the openingof the DominOHHOO HOO Handicap.”
And at the finishing line, Hannon again hit a high note at the right time of his sentence.
He told viewers with a tuneful flourish: “Pass the post at the Domin OH HOO HOO Handicap.”
Fans of the broadcaster loved the way he boldly belted out the line.
“Superb,” said one, while another added: “Go Jerry!”
A third commented: “Jerry Hannon doing Jerry Hannon things.”
Bookmaker Coral posted: “Never change Jerry Hannon.”
Others reckoned the pizza maker will be delighted with the jingle-singing commentator
One said: “The marketing team at Domino can take a bow!”
And most viewers reckoned the mike man's musical offering was simply topping.
One demanded: “I need to meet Jerry Hannon. I think he’s brilliant.”
Another said hearing it had “made the day”.
And a thirdmight hope he is as good at tipping as he is at a more catchy type of prediction.
He accurately predicted:“Jerry Hannon to trend in 3, 2….”
Meanwhile, Himalayan Heights won the race.
But spare a thought for the horse that came in sixth.
Who could blame Pepper Noir for feeling salty after missing out on glory in a pizza-backed contest?
