eljay Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 My lasting memory of Claudelands - apart from winning race 1 there and leaving the "presidents room" after the last and driving back to Auckland - was that it always seemed to rain on race night.

eljay Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 No Sunshine - but it was my only win on that track. Only regret was that the driver emigrated - I wont say he was in Dexter's class but not too far behind and certainly made his mark in the States 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spatchcock Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 9 hours ago, Brodie said: Ok so what were these horses that you say he was winning with at Greymouth? He has certainly changed tack on what races he targets if he was taking horses to Greymouth. Personally can not remember him winning many if he was it was very very few!,, Twirl, Conquistare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend I do not remember them either and despite my age I have a great memory of horses of past seasons. I looked up these nags on Infohorse. Twirl never raced at Greymouth while Conquistare won at Greymouth by seven and a half lengths on March 17, 2006 and ran second March 19, 2006. The Inthepocket gelding was trained by M. Purdon and driven by B. Orange. Perhaps those were the days of the West Coast bonus mate. Was Purdon trying to win it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are getting old and senile but Twirl did race at Greymouth on the same dates you mentioned above. Winning 1st day for blair then 4th second day for Aimee Edmonds. (Mark must have been back home in Canterbury!!) West coast bonus has always been centered around the Westport reefton meeting at Christmas. Back in the day when greymouth had a meeting in early January that was included in the bonus as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodie Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 So what we are saying is that Mark Purdon targeted Greymouth stakes as well by racing 2 horses in 2006? I still don’t believe that he raced many horses at Greymouth at all!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don’t believe that he raced many horses at Greymouth at all!! Back before he has his "light bulb" moment and worked out how to take the majority of the group racing stake money out of NZ racing. Actually had 4 in at this meeting for 2 wins on 1st day . Funny thing is not one of those horses started favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate you are right. I had a "senior moment" and didn't realise there was a second page of data on Twirl at Infohorse so missed the mares Greymouth races. Never mind. It was a long time ago those races. Purdon must have been in the early stages of his training career in Canterbury?
