Buller high school right next to race course, remember gazing out the woodwork room right next to 1200m cute for the gallops, the pain of not being allowed a day off school to go, good racing there on both codes, horse called Julloch held track record may have died in a float fire, peligro held 1200m track record 1.12 I think from memory, trained by Kennedy's ikamatu, they had some good horses in their day.Derby street very familiar to me, you'd remember a few good gallopers trained there, taxtale, Gaelic bid, buller bay a chestnut plagued by unsoundness,
I was there nearly every year in the 70's and a few times in the 80's.
At relations that lived across the road in Derby street. Invariably my father had a horse or two racing there from the Hill stable. High Chapparell won the main race one year.
Apparently in those days we were related to two thirds of the town.
I do remember one year Keithy Powell was way out in front half way up the straight on the rank outsider paying 60's or 90's. The crowd was silent except for one lady in the stand yelling "Go Keithy!!!"
No one has answered the question:
WHO BENEFITS? Until you answer that question then you can't change anything.
PS: @Huey your snipes are irrelevant and childish.
