15yo Mister Douglas is going around for start number 284 at Warragul on Monday
Being born in 1999 he has been around as long as
- the Euro
- The Sopranos TV show
- the last North Melbourne premiership
- watermarks on our TV screen (introduced by bloody Ch.7)
- the last time Kev backed one of his longshots
:)
And the end of footy at Waverley.
Will get a nice action shot of him on Monday. He goes well at Warragul so he may just win!
Mister Douglas is another that has given his owners a lot of thrills over his long career, He's never been a world beater but has finished in the prizemoney 180 times including 33 wins and has more than payed his own way.
Won his first start (3yo) on Apr 13, 2003
290 starts later - Apr 24, 2015 he is still winning at Melton!

The moment he won (and I backed the second horse!) I started writing this article, Kev, and was finished about quarter to 1 in the morning. Stories like this are what got me into the trots in the first place.Quote:
