50 years .... Silver Knight

[The Centaur]

I hear Bruce Marsh holed up at home and also note nothing at all in as far as some promotional PR in recognition. The presenters on TV not expected to have first hand knowledge. This could have been a real PR exercise.

Where is Des Coppins for many years part of the Melbourne Cup with his tours.?

Could I just add Waikato Racing Club could have at least named a race in recognition.

Compare Marsh's ride on Silver Knight to that of Prebble's on Incentivise, no compare.

The decision to go forward from the draw was costly in my opinion, same as floating artist both worked a bit early, cant have it at both ends, brave run all the same.

I still can't get over the interview with Stephen Marsh. With the interviewer getting close to exhausting questions on his runners Stephen Marsh casually mentions "well its a special day for us 50 years ago Dad won the cup".

Now until then on all the media e.g. written, radio, TV etc I had not heard the connection made.

All I can say I like Stephen's style.

Well it looks like NZ Racing Desk inputters read bitofayarn.

Belatedly they have written an article but to make it relevant after the race they have added the Macdonald praise routine. Rather late fellas.
