and canterbury pacer onefor his knob

I had a feeling that "one for his nob" might of been an expression from a card game called Crib.

Anyone know, or am I making it up, as my old age memories get fuzzy?

Cheers.

Robert.

a couple more clever named horses would be smoke and mirrors & screws loose

Its funny how we all have fav horses. I can remember always betting on take aim and take care. Take aim won once in nth island, paid over $20, had $25 to win on it, 3 weeks wages at the time. Got a few bucks of double and concession. 

Toshack and tussock another couple i loved.

 Don Dwyer used to have a brother and sister birdie twice and double birdie very well named...both by birdie Hanover and birdie...........Dear sir and jiliares chance used to be another couple of nice horses to come out of Southland. Other nice fillies I remember were preferred, mytop sweetie and big softie.
