No takers Gamma in over 12 hours !!!!

Gotta be Christian Cullen , the white breast plate and young driver Danny Campbell tell me that.

Then the DB Draught signs, the sun's shadows and huge crowd suggest its Cup Day ...about 1998.

If that is number 15 second it gotta be a Group 1 horse starting off maybe 10 or 'unruly' so maybe Iraklis or Holmes DG from that era .

[TAB For Ever]

Runnerup definitely Iraklis...trained by RM Cameron and driven by Ricky May.

An interesting twist was that Danny Campbell [ RIP ] had worked for Cameron and for a time was regular driver of Iraklis before Ricky May took over.

Then as Cullen emerged May found himself having to make a choice so he chose NZ Cup winner Iraklis over the rising star CC , so Campbell then became the regular of CC.

AT Cup time and around that time CC was unstoppable !
