NZ Cup day 4 ,one for the old boys.


Gammalite

Recommended Posts

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 ?

Cardigan Bay - Peter Wolfendon?

I don't think that is right but the horse sure rings a bell.

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...

Stanley Dancer and Peter Wolfenden

Great work by Rangatira to name the champion horsemen , who took 'Cardy' to great victories all round the globe, and to become the first Millionaire Pacer in history . What a Legend !!!  (Cardy that is , but spose Ranga too lol.) 

new points ladder Blossom Lady 4pts, the HorseMan with 3pts, Rangatira, Brodie, Gamma and Chief all 2 points, and The Galah doing a MUSCLE MOUNTAIN so far , 0.

Bloody spell checker......Wolfeden form Wimbledon.

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.....

Another protest.....  All Rangitara had to do was come up with another driver after you ticked my answer!!!!  He wouldn't have had a show in hell of recognising Cardy!  

I am feeling like a spelling bee phenom.

But I won't push it so I am announcing my retirement from competitive spelling effective immediately.

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).

Been loving these quizzes! problem is! don't think old enough to answer these questions! some before was born!

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.
