Thanks LB. I had it in my head that Devine trained him when he won the Interdominion. Over 60 years ago, so my memory is flagging.

Hi Rees. It is great to be able to hold onto memories, and they are something that can never be taken away from us. Racing has been in the forefront of entertainment for much of the last 120 years, in N.Z. and gradually life, and society, has developed other forms of engagement and personal interests now, and racing is just one of the options that is not near the top of the list. For me, I will never lose my interest, and in fact, there is no better time to be an owner, as the horse numbers being bred is down, so no trouble in getting starts at the races, stake money has risen, so a little more to potentially cover expenses, and from a personal point of view, sharing with people the excitement of racing a horse. Just my thoughts, and support for an activity that has been part of me for much of my life.

The old one had a toilet which was disabled friendly. I think you might need a week Rees, with all the information that is there. Remember, all the library items have gone to Peter Larkin at Ashburton Trotting Club, and will be on display there.

Agree Rusty. Why would the Auckland Trotting Club be interested about where, and what was going to happen with the contents of The Hall Of Fame, when they cancelled the lease, which incidentally was prepaid for another three years, and wanted the building vacated. Anyway, it was great to play a very small part in ensuring the history of N.Z.Harness Racing is given the chance, in due course, to be on display again, for the future generations to learn, and admire of the history of the past.

An answer for you Karrots, based the on three meetings this weekend. Cambridge 2nd June. 16 plus 40's. 15 under 40. Ashburton 4th June. 20 plus 40's. 17 under 40. Invercargill 5th June. 11 plus 40. 14 under 40. Cheers. Robert.

The latest update from Barry Lichter, the newly elected president of the N.Z.Trotting Hall of Fame. The New Zealand Trotting Hall Of Fame is in the process of morphing into a modern, interactive museum that it is hoped will eventually draw visitors both young and old to Cambridge. Since the debt-ridden Auckland Trotting Club kicked the Hall Of Fame out of its purpose built facility at Alexandra Park earlier in the year, the committee has been busy planning its next, exciting iteration to be located at Cambridge Raceway. It has engaged an expert museum designer, has sought the help of a professional fund-raiser and has begun gathering key memorabilia from New Zealand and overseas to widen the scope of its exhibits. Among those will be crucial memorabilia from the Addington Hall Of Fame which has graciously agreed to collaborate with its northern counterpart given its own collection has no home and is locked up in a container. A number of exciting new features are in the works to modernise the collection of more than 50 years and a special education section is planned to expose school children to harness racing. Given the effort going into the rebirth of the Hall Of Fame, it came as a surprise to its committee to hear ATC president Jamie MacKinnon make a totally misleading statement on this week’s The Box Seat harness show. MacKinnon claimed the Hall Of Fame was “sitting in a container in a paddock waiting for someone to think about what’s next”. MacKinnon told The Box Seat host Greg O’Connor he was disappointed the Hall Of Fame had decided “to up and go somewhere else”, a surprising claim given that’s exactly what he told the museum’s curators it should do in a TV One interview earlier in the year. On hearing the Hall Of Fame was moving to Cambridge Raceway where a new museum would be built, MacKinnon said he called Cambridge chairman Graham Bowen and claimed he was told “Don’t believe everything you read in the media. No, we’re not building anything, we’ve just offered storage of a container.” That completely misrepresents what Bowen actually said. Bowen said the club was storing a 40 foot container for the Hall Of Fame while it was planning its property subdivision and new covered stable block. Only after it had gained resource consent could it then put a plan together for housing the Hall Of Fame. Cambridge Raceway CEO David Branch has previously expressed his enthusiasm over the project and before the exhibits were packed away last month he brought his team north to Auckland to see the Hall Of Fame. Branch said it made sense for it to be based in Cambridge. “Cambridge is a horsey town with great community support and it makes sense to incorporate a facility for the Hall Of Fame in our master plan. “There’s so much history here. Whatever it looks like in the future, someone needs to be guardian for future generations.”
