pete Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I know this has been done to death before but so sad to see this once iconic race at the level it is now at. I remember going to Ellerslie as a young fella and having to climb to the top of the old open top public stand to find a place to see the race. Packed to the rafters in those days. Two horses that stick in mind - Silver Wraith because he was just brilliant that day and Our Shah because I backed him and made a bit!! Happy days...
