Its name was La Grenade. Pin Puller was standing in Taranaki at one time, out Okato way. Saw him once - looked like a fat little pit pony. Born in Florida - ended up in Okato - not many can make that claim !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clue was in the picture - SH4. So I thought of clubs along that route and came up with Taumarunui first up. Looked up the history of Taumarunui raceclub and saw the name of the track they used to use. Lucky really.
