Wow , I just had a glance over some of the pages of this thread , and what an awesome line-up . I really enjoyed reading my books, charts , clippings and all that again. Is a great sport. 'Young Quinn' day today for YZ , ( so he beat up on our Team Lyell Creek as well in the harness comp today as it panned out to celebrate lol. you had great score though ) Don't think Quinney would ever let a trotter beat him ........ Thought you might be interested in how well Young Quinn' did in America , so have tried to snapshot to post (might be crap photos as night-time now and I can't see a thing ) but in 75' and 76 ' he was giving it to em. hardly ever missed a place and about 20 wins.

Sir Gallivant Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Hi folk, Not sure if anyone is about but I have 2 questions 2 ask, 1) Does anyone recall who the owner/trainer/driver of a horse called Bonjour ? 2) How many remember the days of brackets , one of my favourite combinations was Wag & Tony Bear,? those were the days with huge fields.

Only just, were the TAB agency tickets handwritten on yellow paper. Carbon paper was involved. Has to be pre 1980. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rex Do you mean Bonjour (Plat du Jour/Western Winner?) - owned by Kenwood Stud, and Charlie Hunter trained him with Garry Smith before Garry went out on his own. Maurice McK drove him mostly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rex. There were two Bonjour. One raced in the 1960's and one in the 1980's. What one would you be asking about? Yes, I remember the brackets. I think it used to be Johnny Gee and Tony Bear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Hutt Park in the sixty's ,most fields were full of brkted horses., Gave one a better chance of a return but at reduced odds. Never found out why they did that apart from same stable horses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was an integrity thing, even way back in the 60's and 70's, and took away the perception for the punter, if the rougher one of the stable horses won. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubles were the type of bets in those days that were popular, as you could get a healthy return, if you struck one.

Sir Gallivant Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Thankyou Thankyou, Charlie Hunter is right, you see this is we as a family got semi involved in racing, one night coming home from Alex Park, Charlie , Bonjour and car/float ended up on our front lawn when i was 7-8 years old !!! From then on apart fro, repairing the fence and lawn Charkie always sent mum tickets to cambridge and alex park for the family, and at times he was a notable tipster lol. My very first bet was on a horse at cambridge one night called Governor Frost off some ridiculous mark 64 - 72 yards behind i either made a shilling or 10 cents , that what the win divvie was. Yes the yellow tickets , i would sneak away , stand outside tab , and get known customers to put bets on for me 😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
