ngakonui grass,

Skint Dip finished fourth to Silver Knight, Igloo and Tails in the 1971 Melbourne Cup, I believe.

All the best.

Apologies

What horse am i thinking of.Also trained by Winder and ridden in the Cup by N D Riordan after Ron Taylor had been suspended.

While writing this it just popped into my head.

Strike Again. Once again apologies.

ngakonui grass,

I think that the horse that you may be thinking of is "Not Again". I believe that the prominent owner of this horse previously raced a top-class galloper called "Terrific", who had a nightmare campaign in Australia and so, in the hope of avoiding a repeat, named his next horse as such. "Not Again" was a top-class racehorse in his own right.

Please believe me, there is no need to apologise. We all make the odd mistake when recalling the long ago, and your reference to great horses of the past delights me and allows me to indulge myself in a brief reverie.

Cheers.

Just been reading Noel Riordans obiturary in the Te Awamutu Courier .

Strike Again was the horse  and W.C Winder trained it.Owner wanted a picture of his horse going past the post first and they got it.

Not Again and Terrific both owned by Dr McGregor Grant and trained by Merv Ritchie.

Terrific failed in Aus and when Not Again went over headlineread" Oh no not again" given that they werewell hyped.
