Steady on I heard the other day that Paul Lofty Taylor is working for the Stable, one of the 'good guys' of the Jockey colony, as the Americans would say!

Didn't he win a Wellington fup on Rastes, many years ago, and the jarden mile on south islander Johnny alone, going back many a year, great he's still involved in the game.

Lots of Photographers lining the rail (the boss) Ken Lush had the #1 spot, then lots of Press, I took a gamble, and headed for the inside and took a couple of cool shots! back then you go One Click, not auto drive! both photos were used in FF and in the Racing Annual for that year! Made even better by being good mates with Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad Posted Sunday at 04:10 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:10 PM Certainly both horses caused upsets at long odds, from memory the other south islander knight invader finished second, success for the south horses was quite rare back then, Jonny alone by by a not so popular sire blue vermillion, certainly brings back memories, the camera technology very different these days, interesting know the best shot and horse that stands out overs the years of photography, bet there's been a few. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose we can be thankful that we experienced it from golden to sunset. Might be the theme of your Exhibition MF.

Freda Posted Monday at 05:49 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:49 PM Hell, yeah. And the characters involved, of whom we won't see the like again. Some might say for the better! but it gave the game colour which despite some great achievements from today's participants, is so badly lacking.

Might be the theme of your Exhibition MF. Noted... Still working of the Theme.. two parts, shots from film camera, early 90's, a few horses, a few races, a few jockeys, a few trainers, 3/4 of each of those, there is a bit of cross overs... then some from the digital area. 'Logic' suggests a book, and I would like to be able to add some 'oral history', and off course, part of the process is flushing out who is will to be helpful. Some other concepts I will be keeping undercover! for now. They be around the tragic digital historical reality of NZ Racing History! What I will do is to soon start a thread on it, I'm aware of knowing that it has to be cost sensible, meaning in the end, I actually want most of what is going to be printed and framed etc needs to be sold! Then, there is decisions around whose Name goes on the Exhibition, MF or DOK.. sigh, no rest for the wicked! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
