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
