Globederby19 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 It isnt beyond the realms of possibility that some of us ran into each other at Trentham way back then ,of course not knowing the future. I picked Ansin to win the Wgtn cup, but buggered off to Aussie and missed his win.,and was on Young Ida when she caused a boil over. Also used to follow two of my Favs in Aristoc and Monastic and a youngster called Sheralee. Also loved Panzer Chief and backed him a few times while still at college.

Also used to follow two of my Favs in Aristoc and Monastic and a youngster called Sheralee. Also loved Panzer Chief and backed him a few times while still at college. great memories for Max of teenage days getting fired up about horse racing and admiring the champs of that era. Two I loved in particular were Triton - a flashy chestnut with 4 white socks, what a looker he was, and unbeaten in 7 starts I think, in NZ, before taking on the Aussies - and Classic Mission. My other faves were Fury's Order, March Legend, La Mer, Uncle Remus, Grey Way, Copper Belt, Game, Kirrama, Black Rod, Battle Heights, Good Lord and Show Gate.

PWJ Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 FROM NZTR Further Derby Option A third option is under consideration for the running of the Vodafone New Zealand Derby meeting this weekend. If the COVID Alert Level 3 status for Auckland is extended for just 24 hours, the meeting could be held at Ellerslie on Monday. The preferred option is for the meeting to be run at Ellerslie on Sunday, but that will be dependent on the Level 3 status in Auckland being lifted by 6am Sunday. If the Level 3 status is extended for more than 24 hours, the Derby meeting will be held at Hastings on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keen to do some study so I can go out with a bang 🙂 Bit of disarray around Ellerslie scheduling so maybe back to original Covid days with 10 races from Oz?? Lots of group races at Flemington and Randwick. The selection thread is up, John. Can you all see it ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
