Gammalite Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 The Chief took us on a wild old boys ride yesterday , with U SCOTT and Highland Fling and co , with Blossom Lady storming home to take the days points and the lead in the NZ Cup challenge . Blossom Lady 4 pts, the Horseman 3pts, Brodie 2 pts, Gammalite 2 pts, Chief Stipe 1 pt. Here's an 'Old Boy ' for todays quiz. !! This '35 year old' absolutely stunning photo, is of a then 30 year old Nz Cup winner. !! (in terrific order for 30 he is too, a true credit to his carers in old age ) Can you name this old boy for 1 Point ? or name his 2 regular career drivers for 2 points ?

Chief Stipe Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Cardigan Bay - Peter Wolfendon? I don't think that is right but the horse sure rings a bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CARDY looking quite majestic in that stunning photo, and winning the Cup off 54 yards behind must of been SuperStunning 1963 . Chief with 1 Point. (and now Restricted) for spelling Wolfie's name WRONG. So 2 points are still up for grabs for Cardigan Bay's 2 famous career Trainer/Drivers ? Where's the Galah making a run? tailed off lol...

Hahaha you are now un-restricted Chief for next quiz, as Ranga has nailed the spelling for you of Mr Peter Wolfenden MBE , near the greatest ever. PROTEST dismissed !! you can give as many clues as you like , and anyone can take advantage. Is like you carted Ranga up into the race beautifully and he gave you the Go-by !!! lol.....

Weird @Gammalite the blasts from the past you throw up. We must have had a very similar passion and focused interest in harness racing when we were younger. The thing that got me thinking it was Cardy was the dark legs versus the lighter upper body. For a moment I thought it might have been Young Quinn (U Scott again through his son Young Charles).

Well some of them were before I was born but it's a shame when we forget about the history of a sport. When I looked back at that Methven meeting I couldn't believe how many horses went round that day. Might chart that meeting over the years for race sizes. Be interesting to see when the decline started and accelerated. Was harder to win races but there was more of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
