May 31, 2021 4:28 pm
Leading form analyst and RSN927s very own Deane Lester details his lifelong involvement in Racing in a must-read edition of RSN’s Behind The Mic: 20 Questions Series.
What first got you interested in Racing, and at what age?
I was pretty much born into racing my parents ran a stud farm, so I was surrounded by horses right from the beginning.
My earliest race-day memory was going to the
Cox Plate in 1972 when
Gunsynd won as a four-year-old. Roy Higgins rode him, and he was a family friend of ours.

‘Rama Roughie’ to the tune of $23 last weekend.
This Saturday Lester has identified the
Lindsey Smith-trained
Continuance as his best value selection across the country.
Lester isn’t concerned by the three-year-old drawing barrier 15, saying the lightly raced filly looks well placed in the 1100 metre dash (Race 2) with only 55kgs and jockey
Damien Oliver on her back.
“There’s a lot of speed in the race. So, look for her to be charging down the centre at a very nice price,” Lester told

Behind The Mic.
What first got you interested in racing?
My dad was a sports journalist and worked in racing at times. He wrote a book called
Courses For Horses. It was a coffee table book that featured every race track in Victoria.
In the early 1980s as a very young boy, I travelled to many of the racetracks with him and still have great memories of the excitement and colour that came with going to the races. My dad also worked for HRV which meant he was often at

Mongolian Marshal as his best value selection across the country tomorrow.
Lester expects the six-year-old gelding to relish the fast speed engaged in Race 2 at Flemington on NJT day, saying that he can
“run a cheeky race” as a result.
Despite not finding the winners stall since November 2020, there is a step back in class for the son of
High Chaparral who has a 42% strike-rate of getting in the money.
“I have a feeling this race will be run at a breakneck speed with Surreal Image and Holbein involved,” Lester told the

Danny O’Brien-trained
Listed Centaurea Stakes (2014m) as his best value selection across the country tomorrow.

“I’m very happy, this horse a crept into the field. I think this has been a target race for the O’Brien stable with Craig Williams aboard, I think it will run a mighty race at good odds,” Lester told
