Racing: Martin bows out on top of his craft

Trainer Byron Cozamanis and Kerrin McEvoy combined with Zip Baby Zip to win the Summoned Stakes at Sandown on Saturday, a race which brought down the curtain on the distinguished career of top broadcaster Bryan Martin.

Martin, 57, whose career has spanned 37 years, wanted to go out on top and that he did with an exciting call of the Listed 1500m event.

Martin ended his two-and-a-half-year tenure as TVN's Melbourne race caller, but course commentator and Sport 927's caller Greg Miles stood aside to allow Martin to be the sole caller of the race to mark his retirement.
