Embarrassed commentator admits ‘I hoped no one was listening’ after rude gaffe about horse’s bum

THIS is the hilarious moment a commentator is left red-faced after a rude gaffe about a horse’s bum.

Poor old Michael Maxworthy admitted he ‘hoped no one was listening’ as he got his ‘yards’ and his ‘a***’ mixed up.

The commentator was describing the look of 10-1 Sensei Jackie ahead of a race at Dubbo racetrack in Australia on Sunday.

As the four-year-old gelding was strutting his stuff in the parade ring, Maxworthy commented on the ‘nice type of horse’.

Unfortunately it was at that point he suffered the unfortunate slip of the tongue.

Maxworthy said: “He’s a nice type of horse, very impressed with the way he presents in the a*** – uh, in the yard.”

One punter was quick to record the action and tagged the commentator in a Twitter post with the message: “I sense this is going viral.”

Maxworthy took his error in good humour and replied: “Very funny. I was hoping no one was listening.”

Others were a bit less diplomatic.

One said: “Michael Maxworthy likes big butts and he cannot lie.”

Another posted: “That’s gold!”

A fellow punter wrote: “Brilliant.”

Racing commentators are some of the best in the business but even they can get it wrong sometimes.

Spare a thought for this unlucky soul in America who had to call a race – even though the torrential rain meant he couldn’t see a thing.

Another faced an equally impossible task during a blizzard.

There’s no escaping the laughs sometimes, though, as this commentator proved when he made the most of calling this horse’s name.
