Blue 1,080 Report post Posted July 10, 2018 It's a bugger isn't it? You remember things quite clearly but with the passing of time you tend to get times, dates and places a bit out of kilter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis2 1,078 Report post Posted July 10, 2018 13 hours ago, rdytdy said: Not sure whether you are referring to Kiwi or Commissionaire but neither won over 1600m at Wanganui. Kiwi did win at Wanganui in September 1983 over 2000m with Noel Harris up and Commissionaire who had 65 starts never started at Wanganui . Yeh I was fishing a bit Ted. New I saw Kiwi win at Wangvegas but didn't know when. He was a solid customer and the rest is history. May have been able to win two cups if the vets didn't intervene Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant ever recall an owner calling a maiden by its sponsors name!! The two actors who played Moseley and Cassidy nailed their roles. Writers needed assistance because no matter how cheeky Cassidy could be I couldnt ever imagine him swearing at Snow Lupton. Would have been great to see more of Shorty Hare and his antics!!! A shame they couldnt get more at Ellerslie to replicate Flemington on Cup day. Someone mentioned it was probably shot at the Derby meeting in March It was a shame Dianne Moseley didn't get the recognition she deserved of winning on Kiwi at his second start at Stratford 1981as it was portrayed he was only third and she wanted to protest. And it was a fine sunny day as well. THE TORCH and JTeaz 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but the Seabiscuit movie had a budget of US$80m......so can't be too harsh on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
