No cheating for another 24 hours:
30 years ago today Robert Dunn got a race to race double culminating in the Hunter Cup.
Name the Hunter Cup winner and the runner up:
On the same night there were 4x Derby heats. Winsome Eagle took out a heat for David Aiken. Great Celebration took out a heat for Robbie & Russell Jack. Name the 2 other heat winners, one of which won the final the next week.
Can you also name the 2nd horse in the Vic Derby who later got revenge in the NSW Derby with the quinella reversed?
The Hunter Cup quinella and Vic Derby winner then went on to trifecta the Hunter Cup 2 years later.
I can't remember last week these days Brenno but just asked Luke at dinner and he got them right without cheating (not all).Originally Posted by aussiebreno
Hunter Cup winner - Master Musician
2nd - Blossom Lady
Got 1 of the Derby Heat winners - Golden Reign who won final.
And them 3 trifecta the Hunter Cup 2 years later.
Luke is a walking encyclopedia of harness racing

Great job Luke.
For those playing at home.
2nd horse in the Derby who got revenge in NSW was Young Mister Charles.
Other heat winner (3rd in final) was Chandon.
How an industry as small as Australian harness racing has ended up with two $1million slot races on the same night defies belief.

Guerin is talking about the NZ Race and the WA Nullarbor isn't he?
When did NZ become part of Australia?!

WA is also basically a seperate state!
What horses are missing from each race? Would Louis have gone to NZ with the stronger depth there anyway? If races spaced apart would Louis have travelled to both WA and NZ?
Maybe some harness people do take long weekends.
Despite metro stakes we have two 5 horse and one 6 horse race at Melton tonight

In the last at Yarra Valley today we see Peace Of Art's last ever foal - 4yo Timely Magic make her debut. POA had 369 foals and now 198 starters but he never really made an impact

Flemingon tagline on promo video on Tiktok "Eat, drink, dance, repeat"
Not a single horse shown in the video just happy snaps of those partying.
Its always been the case a day at the races is social but its next level the horses not even being part of the promo.
Good eyes Brendan. May be an interesting tactic. Maybe just having Flemington and when in promo is enough of a reminder for anyone who may go for the horses
