Wow. Thanks for that. It's so before my memory period. I remember being dragged down there as a kid because some top horse was racing. But all I was interested in was the hot dog stand, and races up and down the steps  . I was the problem child, so I probably was there for some of those horses.

A Funny Story for you Ludwig, in late Nov 1983 , a market gardener from Auckland took his gelding to Hutt Park for a BIG punt. 

It didn't come off .  Down the track He finished much to the disappointment of all his supporters in Auckland inc myself. Thought the fields at Hutt Park would be weak , and he would win easily. But not to be.......

Brian returned to Alexandra Park ,Auckland and the gelding blew them away by 3 lengths at his second race start. Roy Purdon and co proving No match for this now promising horse (that couldn't win at Hutt Park)

Brian Notman then sold him for $40k to the aussies in the west. VILLAGE KID then rattled off near 100 wins and over $2,000,000.
