I think Smokeaway ran second or third If it's the '63 Cup Boatey, Smokeaway didn't run in it. Robyn Dundee second, Master alan third and pretty sure Oreti fourth. Smokeaway was unplaced in the 62 Cup behind Lordship. Great memories of great horses. Fartoomuch 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
