What about the once mighty Auckland Cup? only 15 nom's left in and 3 of those are rating 65 or lower. How long before a maiden gets a start in the Auckland Cup?

The Noel Eales trained combo I remember most fondly (and another front runner) was Flying Crest and Don McLaren.

An old photo so a bit blurry but we were close

maybe a Winter Oats

Not sure but Paul was training on his own account a few years ago. I think he may have had a bad accident maybe from a horse kick.

Fun times for sure - was Paul Reid Darkies raceday strapper back then?

Laceration - He was my pet! After dead heating in a race on 5th July with Sobeck at Wanganui, Merv Andrews came to Mrs vS and said "you have got Don Grubb worried" as they knew we were aiming for the 1988 Parliamentary Hcp. Won the Parliamentary that year and repeated the following year. Had so much fun with that horse winning 9 races from 28 starts. We retired him straight after the 1989 Parliamentary as a 9yo (didn't start racing until a late 6yo) and he enjoyed a great retirement until he was 30 yo.

Don didn't like it much when Mrs vS lined her winter stayer up against Gatcombes Pride in the stakes races. Result Mrs vS 2 ... Mr Grubb 0 😊

I told Mrs vS that it is elder abuse week - she replied "What sort of abuse would you prefer?" 🙄

Sailing Home was trained by Joyce Edgar-Jones Bally Castle from memory was trained at Wanganui??

Back to Frederik - didn't Maureen Madsen train him herself at one stage? Also remember Frisky Fred - Alan Kaye at awapuni trained and often ridden by Reg King.

Old age problem - name not coming to me but was it something like Beattie? Maybe the same guy that Larry Cassidy was apprenticed to at Awapuni. Jockey in photo R Lammas?
