Insider 3,883 Report post Posted June 14, 2019 Where is the Racing Hall of Fame/Museum? Isn’t everything still packed away in a container or two somewhere, probably deteriorating, especially anything in the form of paintings, photos and books? A disgrace just like the current idiots in charge of a once great sport/industry! Pegasus 9 and THE TORCH 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjay 447 Report post Posted June 14, 2019 owner trainer Gordon Thomson from Mosgiel of Show Gate had no children that I'm aware of. i think he remained a single man his entire life, I could be corrected here. I remember him as a quiet man, famous for his carrying a roll of notes with a rubber band holding it together. had some very good horses Middy, NZ cup winner, Sandy all the talent but unsound. Had a top line of brood mares in the south Is which he bred from. Sad to see the cup online, but times go past. Dunedin club should have a look here.

I still put a rubber band around my roll of notes but I’ve got two problems now. Firstly, they don’t make $1 notes anymore and it’s hard to keep coins together with a rubber band! Secondly, they don’t make rubber bands small enough now for my roll of notes! JJ Flash, Chris Wood and weasel57 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
