The Centaur Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 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.?

The Centaur Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 Could I just add Waikato Racing Club could have at least named a race in recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy connolly Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Compare Marsh's ride on Silver Knight to that of Prebble's on Incentivise, no compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Centaur Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Centaur Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 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. https://loveracing.nz/News/34911/GlowingpraiseforMcDonaldfromfellowMelbourneCup-winningjockey.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
