Black Kirrama 1,482 Report post Posted March 8, 2018 Gub no wonder you are a Rating 121 Cafe ! I was born in 1950..Matamata. My Dad ( JOCK ) had friends who had a colt by Revelation. So go from there buddy ! Bob Autridge knows all the happenings from those days. As a rising 2 year old kid I wandered off from the Arawa Street, Matamata TAB on New Years Day 1952.. Dad burst out from the TAB looking for me shouting "" REV"" where are you ? Many Matamata locals took this as an Omen Bet for that 1952 Auckland Cup ! A very young Norm Crawford had me safely eating an icecream much to the relief of my Dad. Bob Autridge will tell a different story about how it was his dad Bill who rescued me. REV won the 1952 Auckland Cup and The legend lives on !! Rev Baz (NZ) and gubellini 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Vinny or Roger would have a copy or even Trackside TV? Would be nice if Trackside could create a youtube channel dedicated to our classic races of the past!

Think I was 7-8 at the time and rushed home from school on Monday afternoon to see what Dad had collected. Remember being slightly disappointed with $70, but looking back Blue Denim was class, Ruanuku (I think) loved Rotorua. I picked Velvet Brown because it's two previous runs were a third, then second. A 7YO's logic - a win must be next Baz (NZ) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Report post Posted March 8, 2018 22 minutes ago, von Smallhaussen said: what are all those people doing there? Maybe Trackside should take notes of the production. Professional commentators, lengthy prelims, Great interviews. All the film angles we have today. Brings back memories of my Dad and I sitting at home or at the local watching for the full half hour or more to see how the horse went that we bought in the local racing club Calcutta went.

Andy....this is what I have been talking to you about for over a year. I tend to agree Berri although in those days we had put on our bets for the day (small yellow slips of paper) before we went off to see the rugby and listened to the delayed radio broadcast on our transistor radio. However surely they can do better and met the modern demand for last minute punting. Australia seem to have it worked out on their big days better than we do. We'll probably switch straight after the race to the next from Wagga Wagga. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Monarch was ridden by Gary Bell and Ake Ake by John Grylls. The quinella paid $7.30. Later in the day John won the Auckland Cup on Kia Maia. Gallery did not race that day. Only two Te Awamutu horses raced in the Cup that year. Sindicato and Skite. Skite was by the same sire as Gallery- Showoff 2 hence your possible confusion! crustyngrizzly 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question,Did Gallery ever start in an Auckland Cup?If he did was Ray Cleaver the jock? Pretty sure that Ocean Monarch and Ake Ake also quinelled the Boxing Day Highweight.

Ake Ake was unplaced. On the second day Ake Ake won the Highweight ridden by John Grylls from Shirani and Tom Fallon. Ocean Monarch did not start. On the fourth day Ake Ake and John Grylls won the Highweight from Bonnybard and Dick Walsh. Ocean Monarch did not run. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
