How times change OR Trainers don't need to travel nowadays

Browsing the 1971 Year Book (I do strange things like this sometimes) and I see a Mildura meet on Friday Apr 30 where they had a 2.19 class race for the equivalent of metro money ($1,100 for 1st) and they attract Reichman
Nowadays they only get Bernie Winkle

Greenwald, My Gal Sal, Adios Court and Deep Court were also regular competitors in FFA's at Mildura back then. Old Bernie would be getting a bit of a lesson if he had to race against those old timers.

All were top notch pacers. You get an idea of the quality of those mentioned with Deep Court finishing second in Mount Eden's Miracle Mile. No disgrace being beaten by a freak.
