I donated a couple of sets of colours to the organization a few months ago....for a kiddies race....dont think they'll fit you!

Lol. Hope they weren't my colours! I have enough trouble keeping track of them. To be fair though I've seen lesser crowds on premier days at Ellerslie and that's with a $10 gate charge which is more than most race meetings command these days. Tucker looks better too.

No, they weren't!  A very old set of mine, in good nick but the up to date screen-printed ones are much nicer and lighter too. Also a set of Greenwood colours, unused for twenty years and unlikely to be recommissioned now.  Appropriate for the district too I thought.

Certainly looks a great day out, track looked good, was it used as a tote venue at any stage, a blast from the past seeing and hearing Ian Chambers, remember many a year ago going to an equalizer meeting for the trots at murchison, they had a little all weather track from memory, be long gone now.

Ian Chambers - what a legend.

Still doing a bloody good job too from what I saw, especially when he gets the field 2 minutes pre-race and still has all the unfamiliar colours and names nailed! A few here could take notice.
