He ran in at least one NZ Cup when the fields were even and decent! Won at Westport, Reefton and then Greymouth. They closed Greymouth and then you had to win at Westport both days and then Reefton I beleive, then they canned the bonus for some reason! Quote

Yes our mana 2nz cup seconds and one Auckland cup 2nd, I remember when he and Derby were coming through and Derby beat him in the flying stakes, I think Derby had won 8 from 8 I thought Derby would kick on and become a super star, but our mana turned out much better.

Shad Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 The tough nut springs to mind from memory, a wee bit later on, and may be the odd trotter, from Paul narin stable later on or got close. 1 Quote
Shad Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Not sure if it was still going when wilmas mate won it, it would have been the revised bonus, think Westport the first ever club in the world to record a triple dead heat, club received a thousand pounds in those days, brodie will know all about it, may have been there. 1 Quote

Not to sure may have been 50s or there abouts, got an old race book somewhere with the picture of it on the front cover, one of the horses was called whimpy and the other knight owl, can't remember the third one, as a avid collector of old race books, I find them so interesting to look back on, did throw some of the 80s and 90s out when I was shifting, oh boy have I really regretted that, just looking at one now amberley gallops, may 1954, a great year, 2 Quote
