Terry Bailey: See the moment top Aussie sport commentator wins fans for his hilarious and VERY rude reaction to an emergency in the middle of an event
Veteran Australian horse racing commentator Terry Bailey has won a host of fans with a moment of comedic gold on Monday after an alarm went off while he was midway through calling a race.
It was business as usual for Race 6 at Mornington Racecourse, with the field thundering for home and Bailey focusing on calling the action - when suddenly an alarm sounded in the booth.
Bailey hardly paused at the unexpected interruption and kept doing his job with both wit and professionalism.
'An alarm goes off to scare the s**t out of the race caller', Bailey exclaimed as he continued describing the action.
The alarm continued to sound for the rest of the race, with Williamstown storming home to win.
Bailey got through the race without missing a beat, before mentioning the alarm again.
'That alarm is right over my head, it scared the living bejesus out of me,' he explained.
'We need to evacuate... I think I'll stay here, I've got a feeling it's a false alarm.'
He then started talking to Racing.com host Edward Sadler.
'Edward, if you've got anything Nurofen or Panadol in the studio, can you send it out to me? This is going to send me bonkers,'
The clip has since done the rounds on social media, with fans loving Bailey's reaction.
'Called that race like a champion and didn't break stride once,' posted one X user.
'Terry Bailey with another classic call,' replied another.
'First class from Terry,' posted a third.
Fortunately for those in the booth, the alarm turned out to be false and the next race was called without a hitch.

Sabrina Carpenter goes NUDE for Rolling Stone as she hits back at criticism for oversexualization
Sabrina Carpenter proved once again she truly is comfortable in her skin. The Bed Chem songstress, 26, went nude for the cover of Rolling Stone's July/August cover, posing in just sexy sheer tights with her high heels kicked off. The ethereal shoot saw Sabrina posing with her arms strategically covering her chest and her long, blonde hair cascading down her back. The display is not a surprising one given Sabrina's embrace of sex on her Short and Sweet tour, where she famously strikes an array of X-rated poses as part of her Juno song routine. While fans can be heard cheering during these moments, Sabrina has also received criticism for the NSFW routines. Addressing the hate, she poignantly noted the sex-centric songs are the ones beloved by fans: 'It's always so funny to me when people complain,' she told Rolling Stone of her Juno moments. 'They're like, "All she does is sing about this." But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it. 'It's in my show. There's so many more moments than the 'Juno' positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on. I can't control that. If you come to the show, you'll [also] hear the ballads, you'll hear the more introspective numbers. 'I find irony and humor in all of that, because it seems to be a recurring theme. I'm not upset about it, other than I feel mad pressure to be funny sometimes.'

Married At First Sight bride Jamie Marinos reveals the weird way she eats sausages - and says there is a 'whole community' who agree with her
Jamie Marinos has revealed that she has an unusual way to consume sausages. In an Instagram Stories post on Wednesday, the Married At First Sight bride confessed that she cannot eat the ends. 'I refuse to eat the end of sausages' she said alongside an image of a bunch of pieces left on her plate and said it was a 'strange fact' about her. In a second post, Jamie said that she was inundated with messages from people who agreed. 'I stand corrected there is a whole ass community of us who refuse to eat ends of sausages' she wrote. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Jamie was forced to set the record straight after fans started speculating she might be pregnant. The 29-year-old reality star sparked baby rumours over the weekend after appearing in a gallery of snaps from Voir Vodka dinner at Bar Bambi in Melbourne, which she attended alongside her co-stars Eliot Donovan and Teejay Halkias. The images, shared by @mafsgossip, included a shot of Jamie posing with Eliot - who she has been romantically linked to in recent months - wearing a sleek all-black outfit which seemed to hint at a small bump. 'Is it me or does Jaime look like she's got a bump?' one fan commented, while another added, 'Just don't know if it's a baby bump or photo-shopped to look like it. But 100% it's a bump!' But Jamie wasted no time shutting down the speculation, jumping into the comments to address the chatter directly. 'I'm going to blame the lighting on that, because it does and I can assure you there's no bump,' she wrote, adding a laughing emoji. In another cheeky comment, the blonde beauty joked, 'Why am I excited now for a non-existent baby?' before confirming the 'countless' vodkas she consumed that night were proof enough she wasn't expecting. The MAFS star later doubled down, taking to her Instagram Stories to share the same photo and write: 'What in the optical illusion is this? I look like I have a baby bump.' She added: 'How funny would it be if at an event for an alcohol brand I announce a pregnancy, except it wouldn't be funny because I'd be pissed the f**k off that I'm sober.' Since the show wrapped in April, Jamie and Eliot have emerged as two of the most-followed cast members, regularly sparking dating rumours with their flirty comments, TikTok videos and joint appearances at events. Despite their undeniable chemistry, Jamie previously clarified their relationship during a Q&A with fans, insisting: 'We are really good friends. 'He's been such a great support system, always makes me laugh and I'm super grateful to have him around.' She added: 'We are both single, and focusing on ourselves at the moment – but who knows what the future holds.' Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Jamie and Eliot echoed that sentiment, saying they've struck up an 'unlikely friendship' post-show and are simply 'taking each day as it comes'. The pair first sparked romance rumours after attending Daily Mail Australia's reunion party in April. 'Jamie is an absolute babe and I would be very lucky to be in a romantic relationship with her... but at this point in time, we are just close friends,' he told 9Entertainment. 'I'm not in any kind of position to be navigating a romantic relationship but I wouldn't rule anything out. I am absolutely loving going on this journey with Jamie by my side.' Eliot spoke highly of his relationship with Jamie and said their friendship had grown since meeting during filming last year.
