Little Brown Jug or My Brown Jug?

That's Him !!!  Little Brown Jug , the 1979-80 NZ horse of the year . Racing in Australia as My Brown Jug. 

Ran 3rd to Hyperno in the Australia Cup 1981 .

In a particularly Grumpy mood here in photo lol...  trying to savage an Oz champion of the Track.

Does anyone recognise the poor horse getting a set of gnashers coming at him?  as well as putting up with jock with whip on his back, and running flat out lol.....

NG is right - CF Orr Stakes at Caulfield I think

At Sandown on that occasion. This years version of CF Orr Stakes is Saturday week . should be a beauty.

Brent Thompson thought he had the great Manikato covered with Little Brown Jug , but lost by a head , when his mount turned his head for a go , and Manikato could of lost his head ! lol.....

Instead it was 3 x CF Orr Stakes on the trot for Manikato. It's tough work holding out the kiwi's !! lol.

Burst

Burst was also the only filly to win the triple crown

Spot On Ian !!! . A magnificent filly Burst was. Shane Dye steering her to his 4th Golden Slipper on the trot.

And to this day , the only Filly to take out the 2 year olds triple Crown of Golden Slipper, Sires Produce and Champagne Stakes.  A truly fantastic effort.

Bonus Question?  Anyone remember the last horse to do so ?  (Sydney 2 year old triple Crown winner)

FIREBURN might be trying for it this year after taking the Slipper. Sires Produce Stakes next on his agenda.

PIERRO?

That is the one NG ! well done.... you tie it up with 2 questions each correct for you and VC .

PIERRO  the colt in 2012 and his Gai Waterhouse stablemate DANCE HERO the gelding in 2004, the only 2 to take the Sydney 2 yearold triple Crown since BURST did in 1992.

I believe your earlier pick of TIERCE may of done so as well during the 'Shane Dye' era. What a jock he was...

Bradman lol Beadman

Kingston Rule Saintly

At the time Kingston Rule ran the fastest Melbourne Cup from memory

Spot on Ian ! the 'Don' might of been a good jock too lol, as could swing a cricket bat better than some swing the whip.

Darren Beadman having a great career and winning with Saintly for Bart a Cox plate and a Melbourne Cup,

And 'Kingston Rule's achievement is as you say , he is the Melbourne Cup Race Record Holder for the 2 mile trip.

OK Bluey I have one for you, it’s a who am I (Australian Harness)

In the mid 90s I moved to the Southern  Gold Coast my first job was working at the Tweed Heads Tab, where I met some Characters from all codes Racing…..Harness….Greyhound’s 

Being the first TAB over the border in NSW we used to get an influx of Queenslanders wanting to bet on the NSW TAB as the pools held way more money

Once or twice a week this couple used to venture down from the Coast Husband and Wife, it was usually somewhere between $1k and 2k invested on a harness horse, the Wife would usually put the bet on while the Husband usually wondered around out the front on his phone, until start time

Only clue you will require from here is their go to man was Gavin Lang

FIREBURN brilliantly Won the second leg of the Sydney '2 year old Triple Crown' last Saturday . (the Sires Produce Stakes) so one more to go for him to be the next Big thing. Bet he hopes the rain keeps coming.

HITOTSU took the final leg of the Sydney '3 year old Triple crown' with a big Australian Derby win. (added to his Vic Derby)

Monday Trivia Question ? Who was the last horse to complete the 3 year old Triple Crown ??
