Found Little Vic ! Look at his record from MAY-AUG 1981

 

[Blue 1,127]

Can't boast anything like that but I had a pacer in 2010, Family Spirit, that won three in eleven days, Stratford Cup off 20metres, Palmerstonian Prelude then the Palmerstonian.  Trophy was a crystal decanter and glasses and I'm happy to relate than in the fourteen years since then there wouldn't be fourteen days those glasses haven't been used.

Greymouth 1967 or 68 Silver Fountain won 2 races same day, 3rd and last race I think?

[gubellini 4,211]

arjay Silver Fountain won twice in one day at Greymouth on the 2/12/68. She won R3 over 7f by 3l and R8 over 6.5f by 3l carrying a 6lb rehandicap. GR Heaton rode her in both races for Blenheim owner-trainer JA Fowler.

Black Lad won twice at the Taumaranui meeting at Waipa on the 27/7/57. He won R6 over 1m and R8 over 1.25m with a 5lb penalty. Rex Barron rode him both times for Matamata trainer AJ Martin. Danesway won twice at Waipa on the 19/6/65- R3 over 1m and R8 over 1.25m with a 5lb penalty ridden by John Humphries for Bill Sanders. Feel sorry for Balagmore trained at Matamata by AJ and Bob Martin. At Ellerslie on the 6/6/53 he fell in R1 the Tamaki Steeplechase ridden by Dan Loader. He then fell in R4 the Winter Steeplechase ridden by RA Muir. Dan Loader had the last laugh because he won that chase on Clifton trained by Bill Tims at Matamata by 50 lengths!

Would that be Ronnie Heaton by any chance?

My grandfather was an apprentice to Bob Martin. Jim and Stellar Martin were good friends of the family for many years after.

I remember this guy well - 3 runs in a week, wins them all, carries more weight, and wins by a greater margin each time!

 

 

[Hufkissen 67]

Back in the day (80's?) was there a filly who won a Lowland Stakes at Opaki the day after winning at New Plymouth or somewhere on the Friday?

I remember as a school boy in the mid 70's another horse winning all 3 days of the winter meeting at Trentham , can't recall his name , by Red Lucifer ? 

Trained in the Wairarapa I think .

In April, 1955 Incredible trained by Lionel Pratt won two successive races at Marlborough- R5 an Apprentice race ridden by CD Lee and R6 ridden by Bill Skelton.

The Lionel Pratt trained mare Cloudy View at Oamaru on the 2/1/53 won R4 over 6f and R6 over 1m. The next day at Kurow she won R2 over 6f and R5 over 7f. She then raced at Kumara on the 10/1/53 and won R3 over 1m and R5 over 7f. All 6 times ridden by Bill Skelton. Amazing feat!
