What I noticed was Chokin's colours in the background, but he wasnt in the finish after that skirmish that Blossom Lady caused by letting Golden Reign go and then trying to come out a bit late,remember Master Musician being wiped out, but I think he got promoted post humously after Victor Supreme, fly eyes hood( leg liniment) & Young Mr Charles(caffiene?) got disqualified. What a great run. spot on mate. Yeah there is AGH , the great man himself ,in the background later promoted to 2nd with the champ CHOKIN. Flies eyes Victor Supreme with the young Wolfenden , nearly stole the march for Interdom glory , but run down late by the hard driven Victorian for Chris Alford . Golden Reign the winner 1995.

Gammalite Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 speaking of Derek Jones there with Walt this week , here is Son Peter winning on a trotter that used to just jog it in to victory sometimes. Perhaps modelling herself like Scotch Notch with some big wins 😊🏆. Can you name this trotter ? and for the stumper maybe the 2nd placed horse seen here as well ? . (Ranga would probably 'jog it in' spotting up these 2, but see if you can beat him to the punch lol). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horse on her outside looks to be driven by Dick Prendergast so with those colours I'd say Simon Katz is the runner up? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lived in Auckland for a four decades before returning to my hometown of Nelson. Very rarely missed a meeting at the park. The colours are familiar yet I can't put a far king name to it..grrrrr I thought Special Force but with little confidence. Then thought Mairo Sultan but Maurie Mac drove him and that's not MM in the bike. Next I thought Admiral Soanai but again with little confidence.

Here's a win on the mainland in a feature at the main track for you then , for our Northern horse 😄. Yes a handy young reinsman Peter Ferguson doing the steering there, having just won the Interdominion Junior drivers title too. A star in the making. yes no over check (well spotted) as advised by Colin Butler . 1987 on the winning post I see too ( you're on the right track then again mate ) Don't think you'll get the colours though. Anybody remember Who is this stylish horse then ? (horse inside him here pretty handy one too 😁 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Think thats Cinimod Junior beating Skipper Dale(his shadow roll gives him away I think), may have been the old Pan Am Mile? He won a Wellington Cup but got D'd over a caffiene positive I recall. Fergy minus his moustache, less wind resistance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the galah Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) cinamod junior? If it is him,i once met the fella that broke him in,i think the horse had a bit of age on him from memory. The fella invited me to a party at the stratford pub,didn't go and was glad i didn't as the two who went came back with shaved heads the next day. Maybe thats a taranaki thing?

What's a passing lane around pole markers again? 😂 these latest drivers don't know how lucky they have it (with all the inside room they get these days) Much more of a 'challenge' trying to push out in the last lap from trail, 3 back or 4 back fence , all to the tune of the 'sweet' sounds of rivals screaming "me legs, me legs !! watch out for me legs" or even the sweet Grinding hollow grating sound ' of your wheel hub scraping along the hub rail like a nail on a blackboard as you attempt the fruitless search for a rails run home (or you're just hanging like Ned kelly lol) . 😂🤣 13 minutes ago, Blackie said: may have been the old Pan Am Mile?

(and was the first kiwi home in the Addington Interdominion too that year ) 4th 😎. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
