Blackie defeats LB once again spotting up SPRY in the 1969 NZ Cup , as the promoted winner. 'S' for Shizenhousen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Looking at the Interdominion list, Aussies would be too strong I’d say, although the Kiwi’s would be better driven, ha, so maybe a Wolfie or R May special would get one home. All great horses there, champions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All great horses there, champions. Stanley Rio was Australian bred so we will leave him out of the Kiwi contingent. 24 horses in a final ??, how about 2 twelve horse heats and a final. Sounds better.

A back story here. Way back in the late seventys we went to Taree Harness track with my family who lived in Taree. There was a raffle on the night for an unraced weenling put up by a local Doctor. My sister in law Sharon bought one of the last tickets and won the raffle . Lo and behold it was a colt by Holy Hal out of Singalong, a Flying Song mare. Over the moon, I got my son in law to get it into the local trainer who turned out to be fat and useless but never the less the horse called Lucky draw won 6 races and raced at Harold Park a couple of times. Pity as it had tons of potential, and loved to lead. Just part of our story in this harness journey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds better. Don't think so Globe. He is bred in Tassie (just like his Noble Trainer) but definitely represented NZ for a great Interdominion in Brisvegas, (and a NZ Cup ) wins. We'd have to trade you Smoken Up then if you did that. He is kiwi-bred . And is the likely Victor in this field with $3 million in earnings, and any number of Group wins in his 70 wins. Smoken Up representing New Zealand just wouldn't feel right somehow lol.....

Globederby19 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Just a note . Holy Hal was by Cardigan Bays sire Hal tryax, imported from Ohio and according to the Todds a good Axworthy/Peter the Great cross. The rest is History. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a very funny chap. used to host a few of us young fellas like Marky boy and Mango over his place at Clevedon on Sundays, and had a great old time. Here's Max in more vigorous action on a Saturday evening trying to catch the ever elusive Charlie Hunter . I think Sugar Ray here ran second to Disco Dancer 6 or 7 times . Max looks a little flustered in this one !! lol..... Yes he was a great friend of our family, and Gwen 🙂 and I used to holiday up at Rundown Lodge 😉 My dad was track supervisor at Trentham 1975 to 1986 and so all the harness guys used to stay at our place and at the stables at Trentham 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
