Tabcorp has made a suite of changes to its racing commentary teams in Brisbane, Adelaide and Tasmania, with racecallers Brett Davis, Josh Fleming and Colin McNiff to depart their roles.

The decision sees South Australian commentator Tim Edwards elevated to the role of Adelaide’s number one thoroughbred racecaller ahead of this weekend’s Group 1 South Australian Derby.

It is believed Edwards received a late call-up on Tuesday night for Wednesday’s meeting at Murray Bridge having called only three thoroughbred meetings in the past three months.

It brings an end to Davis’ five-year stint as South Australia’s thoroughbred commentator having relocated from Hong Kong for the role.
