A Blast From The Past !

[Mighty Atom]

My uncle found a few of his old mans (my grandfather) old vinyl 45rpm race recordings, I know most of you old timers would remember these but the younger members may not have seen them. These were from the days before video tape and dvds ! Even the winning photos were black and white in those days with the drivers colours painted on in colour !

Hi Rick, I was only 19 ( as the song goes ) at the time but my first 2 city winners were on vinyl although the photos had advanced somewhat and were in colour with a very annoying habit of dotting the horses eyes with blue ink.

I've got 3 here from 1966/67 i think they are and the photo's of the same of a horse named Southern Silver that Dad had. In 1 of them according to the race caller he gave 120 yard's start after galloping from the stand and ended up winning beating none other than the great mare Teeny Rena. I just can't find them at the moment but i think it was a Graduation Hcp. Jim Castle's had the horse .
