I have some vague memory as a kid seeing them when they ventured north to Alex park early 80's, but could have been puffy silks back then! Don't think either Gavin or Henry would be what you would call big boned. Both would have been on the shorter side and I think Henry may have been a jockey before getting into harness racing. Quote

Thought she trained and drove it early on, but I could be wrong Pretty sure Marie drove so long Eden. Can't remember who the trainer was. Although I think it was a female and I think "ping" was her partner. Quote

Wasn't he joy miller of SoLong Eden's partner? he may have been one of the ones pissing up after mot workouts but he definately didn't fire the gun. It was 30 years ago how about we leave it in the past and not name innocent names in this incident. Quote

Newmarket Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 All good, not trying to name innocent parties. Bizarre that nothing comes up when googled, even thou 30 years ago, thought info would be around. If anyone finds article, please post it, or pm me. Ta Quote
Brodie Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 It was the Mot. Trainer John Sheenan’s Dad unfortunately, think he has passed on years ago Inoocent man shot and killed trying to stop an argument. Gun should never have been on course, always going to end in tears when someone loads a gun. 1 Quote

Newmarket Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 So refresh my memory, I don’t need names. An argument after the races, someone brings gun, shoots person trying to stop argument? Quote

An argument after the races, someone brings gun, shoots person trying to stop argument? Basically the way it was Newmarket. Bit of alcohol, Mr Sheenan got in argument with a fellah, Mr Sheenan goes home and gets rifle and loads it. Goes back to Mot. And continues argument. Innocent fellah gets in between Mr Sheenan and the fellah he was arguing with, and he gets shot dead. Never should have had a rifle oncourse let alone loaded and someone is killed after a day at the races. 2 1 1 Quote
