Yes, that Daniel McPherson. He was touring in a play last year called The Woman In Black.
I wanted to try to get a selfie with him and the part of my The Bill DVD set where he is on the cover…but the timing of the play being in Canberra didn’t fit my schedule.

Is this 7’s final year with NFL rights? I don’t think there has been any announcement of an extension
Playoff schedule will be announced tomorrow afternoon following MIN-DET, part of the SNF season finale.
Daniel has been part of 7’s Horse Racing for some time. I recall commenting previously on his involvement when I saw him one Saturday.
He also presented the only season of The X Factor that aired on Network Ten, and from what I could recall did so while injured at least once.
That season rated poorly and many thought it would forever go down in the history of failed franchises until Seven resurrected it in 2010 and turned it into a ratings smash for the seven seasons it aired on the network.
All of them.
All games on 7mate & 7+

Live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport this Saturday
Australia’s glittering Magic Millions Raceday will take centre stage on the Seven Network this Saturday, 11 January for summer racing’s richest day, with all the live and free thoroughbred racing action and trackside glamour from the Gold Coast Turf Club.
The live coverage begins at 1.00pm AEDT on Channel 7, 7two and 7plus and will be led by horse racing’s number one team.
Seven’s Magic Millions commentary team includes Hamish McLachlan, Emma Freedman, Jason Richardson, Lizzie Jelfs and Daniel MacPherson, while Kate Waterhouse will cover all the trackside fashion and fun from the dazzling event on broadcast and the 7horseracing and 7racingstyle social media channels.
The Star Gold Coast Magic Millions Raceday is one of Australia’s most prestigious and lucrative racedays, now boasting $14.5 million in prizemoney across 10 races. The pinnacle of the Queensland Summer Racing Carnival, this iconic event is headlined by two feature races, the $3 million The Star Gold Coast Magic Millions 2YO Classic and the $3 million Gold Coast Magic Millions 3YO Guineas.
This year’s 2YO Classic is shaping up to be a wide-open contest, with leading contenders Invincible Woman, Gallo Nero and Icarian Dream all prominent in the market.
Another highlight is the $3 million Magic Millions Guineas for three-year-olds, headlined by Ciaron Maher’s progressive filly Snitzanova.
Magic Millions Raceday is the culmination of a huge fortnight on the Gold Coast with live coverage of the Magic Millions yearling sales available live and free on 7plus until tonight, which follows the twilight Magic Millions Gold raceday that kicked off the festivities last week.
In Seven’s first telecast of the event, the Magic Millions Gold broadcast reached over 1.35 million people across Seven and 7plus Sport.
Following The Star Gold Coast Magic Millions Raceday, sports fans can strap themselves in for an epic week of sport on Seven, headlined by the 2025 Women’s Ashes Series, which kicks off at 10.00am AEDT this Sunday, 12 January on Seven and 7plus Sport.
Also on the way is the 2025 Santos Tour Down Under, the NFL Playoffs, and the final week of the Big Bash League regular season before an epic Finals run, all live and free on Seven and 7plus.
Seven has long been the undisputed leader in racing broadcasting and continues that rich tradition in 2025.
In 2024, Seven’s racing coverage reached 10.2 million Australians (across broadcast and BVOD) and is up 51% year-on-year on BVOD.
A long-term agreement to 2027 with Racing Victoria and Racing NSW, which includes key race days in conjunction with Racing Queensland and Racing SA, cements Seven as Australia’s home of racing and means Australians enjoy 52 weeks of elite racing across the country.

7 not having a great run with the sports on its channel and weather.
Looks like the main races might be bumped to 7two if they get to run at all…
Rest of the Gold Coast races postponed for the rest of the day now.
Racing Queensland says it will run Friday night instead and air on Seven.
The remaining seven races – including the $3 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic and 3YO Guineas – will be staged at the Gold Coast Turf Club under lights on January 17 and will be broadcast through Channel 7 and Sky Racing.

Interesting they are using “tomorrow morning” rather than a specific time. I noticed they also used “Sunday morning” for the women’s cricket. Perhaps this is their response to ongoing criticism about the use of AEDT etc during summer.
