The more memorable the race, the more memorable his commentary seemed to be: Shergar's Derby in 1981 was heralded with the words "It's Shergar ... and you'll need a telescope to see the rest!", encapsulating how far ahead of his field the horse was. The epic Grand National of 1973 was another example: "Red Rum wins it, Crisp second and the rest don't matter - we'll never see a race like this in a hundred years!". An emotional piece of Bromley's commentary was his call in 1981 of Bob Champion winning the Grand National on Aldaniti.
