I should probably leave these two for a '70's horses that left an impression thread'. A couple of New South Welshmen when they came south, Mitchell Victory and Al's Holiday. As a kid I thought Al was Kevin Newman's second stringer but maybe not? Al won the Kilmore Cup with B Gath driving and two Sir Clive Uhr's (Qld Pacing C'ships). Both entered the first 100, $100,000 winners list.

The impressionable bit, as a kid I met a very 'genial' KN. Had just flown in, midweek, to drive Sat night and somewhere after the airport managed to grab a bag of prawns wrapped in newspaper. A bit weird I thought at the time, was that a Sydney thing? 'laughs'
Al's Holiday seemed a gentleman, docile, stayer type whereas Mitchell Victory the flashier. Like I said, an impressionable kid, no doubt the K Newman factor influencing.
What do you think about these two horses you guys north of the Murray?
