    Thanks for that Noel we do hope it is a great night and all the success you all deserve from a top team effort in the massive turnaround in almost every way over the last year!

    Is this the top horse of the 70's?
    The list we have arrived at for Bendigo's Back to the 70s . to feature on the big screen and sure to create great debate....
    is in no order...
    Paleface Adios, Royal Gaze, Koala King, Hondo Grattan, Maoris Idol, Welcome Advice, Young Quinn, Markovina, Rip Van Winkle and Pure Steel.

    Bill Hutcheson is going to rank them 1 to 10, and the first entry by on course patron to match Bills list wins a $100 betting voucher.

    Would be really fitting with the magnificent champ buried at the front gate and his memorial for all to see when you walk into the course that would be the consensus on such a night, not forgetting the Harness Museum and all it has to offer another feature well worth a visit on the 70’s night J

    Great Night..back to the 70s

    The Back to the 70's at Lord's Raceway on Saturday night was a winner
    Highlights were:
    The Bookies...who with the Tote had a turnover that was way above what was predicted. A great result !
    The outfits...many came dressed for the 70s'
    Hutchy's flairs and sequinend jacket was a wionner. Co-host Kirsten Graham ( who was born well after the 70's) must have visited Carnaby St. or borrowed her mum's white boots.
    The HEROs ( rehomed standardbreds) which led the fields out to race
    The PonyTrotters...these young perople are a credit to their parents/supporters.
    The music.... Living in the 70's !

    A highlight was Lighning Calder scorching around in the Monte..Mile rate 1.58.8

    And the top 10 ( as seen in video of races from the 70's on the big screen)...
    Number 1 was the Marnoo Marvel Maoris Idol
    and the rest in order....
    2 Pure Steel
    3 Hondo Grattan
    4 Welcome Advice
    5 Young Quinn
    6 Paleface Adios
    7 Royal Gaze
    8 Rip VAn Winkle
    9 Kpala King
    10 Markovina

    John Hocking won the competition and I hope that I can give you Hutchys order tomorrow.

    Great stuff Noel. The re-homed standardbreds leading out the fields was a masterstroke.

    Great line up Noel, No argument about No1 but Young Quinn is clearly No2 and Steelo No3, Hutchy's been around for a longtime and you must respect his selections although I think there's an argument for every other horse in the line up and a few that missed out, Glad to hear that it was a great night.
