You know that BPH got all his fashion ideas from the late Ray Wisbey, he used to where the old safari suits, BPH modernised it with the skivvy!Originally Posted by Triple V
Geeze Steve, don't stir up the Hornet's Nest.
Trevor has a snow white skull cap that looks like it escaped from Pony Club and when Brian's driving one he turns up at the track decked out in a cream turtle necked skivvy and a tweed coat. We just can't have it.
Your right Murray, she looks the real deal.......wonder what went wrong, it is a $50,000 final!!!!!!!!
Yes I know , you don't scratch from finals unless somethings gone amiss.
Like your horses Rocket Glenfern , Tudor Royal , Manaroa.
The first horse to catch my attention as a young follower......what a lightning sprint he had.......the others looked like they were nailed to the fence when old Joe took off on him!.........Tudor Royal, just short of top class, but possible my favourite horse, used to back him when he was coming through the grades for Kevin Robinson, the pocket talks heaps, won plenty on him!...........Manaroa, the "ugly duckling" but he could do it all, sprint and stay, and was not a big horse........used to wear a white neck strap, that stood out against his black coat.......loved him!!! Another favourite was Repentant Leisure, trained by Neville Hargreaves, I am always saying that name..........wish I was sitting back in "repentant leisure" now.....I used those words once in a high school essay, my female teacher almost had an orgasm saying how much those words were charismatic and beautiful.......little did she know where I got them from!!!!!
I remember those horses well but the Manaroa that I remember didn't have a black coat - he was a bay
Would you accept a dark bay? He used to sweat up a lot!
Ok, we can go with a sweaty dark bay
Here's a video I found of Manaroa.....at least I got the white neck strap right!

Holy crowd !!! Do you see the them , its packed and a long straight too.
They really were the days.
[VVV] Now and again BPH still wears one of George Wiley's old cardigans. You can't miss it. It's kind of a grey-green colour and it smells like a combination of Camphor & White Ox tobacco. If Brian were to have a good ferret around in the right hand pocket he'll probably find a set of George's false teeth.
