    Congrats again to Trevor, $1.60 in that field suggests the esteem in which he is held - or how much Brendan had on him

    It definitely was not because of any money that I had on him. I don't bet !!!
    Pat Stanley went very well but Fides had a big advantage with the draw.

    Thanks Kev and Noel. We're still smiling, we even smile if we win a trial these days.

    I wonder, with little thought, is there a place for some type of regional racing when we've beaten covid? I don't know, like a speciality round the footy have. Or if a couple of races on a country cups program might be limited to locals/region.
    Prior to covid, no matter where you went people would say it's good to see a local win. May help participation rates as much as anything else.

    edit: and a big thanks to the Shepp club and management for running the back to back meetings.

    One Thousand Four Hundred Race Meetings

    It's race meeting 1400 of the Bendigo Harness Racing Club ( formerly Bendigo District Trotting Club) at Lord's Raceway tonight.

    And we can't be there to blow out the candles !

    Here's a snippet from the Bendigo Addy following the first meeting November 14, 1954

    A total of seven races were conducted, with the fastest mile rate recorded being 2:9.80 and prizemoney ranging between 75 and 100 pounds.
    Another highlight was a record 103 pounds winning dividend paid on James Dillon in the main event. These were odds of 412/1 for two lucky 5 shilling tickets.

    All the great ones..owners, trainers, drivers, and horses have competed in the estimated 11,000 plus races from Gentleman John, Richmoond Lass, Perfect Hanover, Gosh, Paleface Adios, Gammalite, Raiarmagh Pool, Popular Alm, Maoris idol, Scotch Notch, Royal Gaze, Mr Feelgood, Smoken Up...and of course the local hero Adaptor

    How great that Gosh got a mention!

    A relation of his, Modern Slippa, set the 2yo 2100m WR in 2010 at Bendigo. (Since been broken)

    And I love the James Dillon mention
    James Dillon was the son of Dillon Hall as was Gentry
    Gentry was the sire of Birdie
    Birdie was the 2nd dam of the best one we have had anything to do with - Dillon Dave
