    • Was it Eddie Gray the runner?  If so he is a West Coast Athletic legend.  Was third at the World Cross Country Championships.  In the same era as Dave McKenzie and Coleman Creagh all horse followers with Coleman being the starter on the Coast racing circuit for a long time. https://athletics.org.nz/legends/eddie-gray/
    • Don't think Savaglee is going there. Tackle the older horses here then off to OZ. Sensibly imo. Certainly wouldn't risk him in a ordinary Listed -R race myself.

    • Just got home from the West Coast Races. My old mate Earl Harrison rang me a few months ago about the racing reunion and whilst we were talking he mentioned that the races on the coast were on his bucket list, as he is now 73 I thought we better go this year,so got it all planned and away we went.I felt that with the hospitality that would be on offer, we would shorten the trip to Reefton and Kumara. At Reefton meet up with Reon and Sheldon Murtha. Both were in good health although Reon had a hearing issue as he had been hit by a golf ball by his mate, some mate. Talking to Sheldon I got to thinking about what a waste of talent we have lost. He talks with fluency and sense.We caught up and had a beverage with Max Skelton and Ron McCann. Had a couple of winners to keep the expenses in check.On Thursday our host Paddy Molloy took us to a gold mine which we found very interesting and then went to another mine which is going to be recommissioned after some 40 years of no use.I was thinking that a small investment may be the go, but when told that when all added up, the the cost to get it operational would be around 30 million, I put the plan to bed for good. On Friday we played golf with Greg O"Conner and Tony Shaw at the Greymouth Golf Club,It was only memorable as Earl and I got the beers On Saturday off to Kumara and thank you to Eddie and Linda Gray for inviting us to their tent and hosting us.Eddie is a legend on the Coast for his engineering skills and makes so much gear for the Gold industry. Anyone interested in racing and coast hospitality must book this on their bucket list and NZTR AND THE RIU MUST NOT TAKE AWAY THESE ICON MEETINGS AWAY, A SPECIAL THANKS to Brian and Dianne Molloy for accommodating us and for the whitebait dinner,Love you guys
