Watching Lord Module win the Allan Matson FFA in the Trainers stand. Also a lasting memory was being allowed to drive my Dads horse or maybe even McShane round the pre-parade ring, down the walkway to the birdcage and then drive the horse back to the stables after the race. I was so excited when told I could do it after gearing the horse up that I jumped in the sulky waiting for the horse to be unhooked and the reins handed to me. I was told in no uncertain terms to get out and do it myself the way I had been taught with the trainer saying - "who the bloody hell do you think you are? Maurice Holmes?!" -
I first went to Addington in the early 80s, firstly with my dad but after that with a group of 6 or so mates, hardly missed a meeting back then for many years. Loved the 2600 standing start, would pop out of bar, walk underneath and buy square pie, then head to start beside tree. If my horse went away, would walk to finish post to watch finish, if horse galloped, head to bar😆 -

We lived in Starveall Street. Had my 21st in the Brightwater Hall with entertainment provided by the Waikatu Variety Band. Only a stones throw from Waimea West where I used to help jog McShanes Road namesake McShane. -

Yep no doubt the homegrown Jockey star Jamie Kah was a huge inspiration to them. -
Probably punters, including me should be eating what jockeys do on Raceday…
