the galah Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) I see the property where Spring Park stud operated from had a sold sign when i drove past earlier this week. It was a stud that Neville Benny,a true gentleman,ran with his family for several decades.I know it hasn't been active just recently,but there still seemed to be some horses grazing there until recently. As i drove past it brought back memories of many trips we made to the property to drop off our mare for service and to be looked after. He always did a great job weaning the foals and handling them as well. Nothing lasts forever i suppose,but still sad to see such places steeped in harness racing history to no longer be involved in the industry. Benny stood horses like Clever Innocence, who made it to the top handful of sires for a while. That was about 30 years ago. That was when Nevele R Stud,10 minutes down the road ,had several of the top stallions.Looking at the sires tables,there were around 100 sires. Those were the days.
