    Hey Trev (and any other oldies)
    Ronmac was also in that Kilmore Cup - was it spelt Ron Mac or Ronmac?

    Two words, lovely chestnut trained by Bill Davies. Well bred too, by Sun Chief from Joy Oro. Same maternal family as Bag Limit, etc.

    Thanks Trev, that is how they have it on HRA and ClassicFamilies but I was just checking as the Year Book has it as one

    I have some doubts myself. A tedious wading through old racebooks awaits.

    We cannot be the only ones with doubts because the wonderful Simon of ClassicFamilies had to sort it for me as the first time I searched for Ronmac it suggested Ron Mac but it would not open because I figured it had been entered as Ronmac in the db. I don't know whether I was being influenced by the Year Books but I felt it was one word but I could be confusing him with Romberg or any number of horses

    I just checked the 1977 Year Book (he was 8 years old in that) and he is RON MAC - two words!

    I guess this proves that half a century can play tricks with your mind.

    If you want a reminder of what a great producing family this was, check out the progeny of Stormy Oro's daughters. Four-legged goldmines!

    Not really, as in every Year Book up until then, he was one word

    There you go, I don't have any pre-1977 year books. It looks like more than a two-can search of old race books.

    I wish I had kept race books but they would have all gone up in smoke in 2009 anyway
    I bought a single 1970 Showgrounds one on ebay - it has some great ones in it
