Which is your favourite Country Cup?

[Greg Hando]

Flash Adios running second Newcastle Cup 1972 to Lumber King, Flash was off 60 yards behind, lost another 70 metres galloping at the start, looped the field on the tiny Newcastle circuit ( 500 metres) to sit in the death, attacked the leader and winner Lumber King from the time he got to the death!!!..then got beat half a neck!!!!

That one will do me, certainly the best run ever seen in a Newcastle Cup, regardless of the venue!

Totally agree with you Dan and just 1 of the many top horses to come from Peak Hill and the Handos Bronte Mare family which was the foundation mare for all our mob.

Great family Greg, together with the Dayetta mob your family bred, most notably the Free Silver family, of which I still have a couple of mares. Old Flash was certainly a brilliant horse, he won 50 races including several at Harold Park, Melbourne Showgrounds and Albion Park.

A truly bonza little horse, he wouldn't have been more than 15 hands, testimony once again that the arguement that a good big horse will beat a good little horse is bullshit with a capital B.
