Nostalgic Race Videos Here !

Recommended Posts

Your Welcome Peter... these videos are just a small collection I've had on VHS tape for years. Now in the "Digital World" I decided to upload some of the memories for racing fans. I wish NZ Racing or TAB TracksideTV could reach into there Video Vault and upload the classics to YouTube just as I have. They must have thousands of quality races from the 1970's & 80's worth uploading to YouTube for our viewing pleasure. Who can we see about this to make the dream a reality? :confused:
To Leggy...Sorry only have the one Show Gate race.

To Spikecity...Sorry no ll-Tempo

To Todamax101...I dubbed the small collection I have onto DVD a few years back with a VHS/DVD recorder.

I'm sure TAB TracksideTV must have a video vault full of these great horses of the past...surely they could make them available via a video web-site like YouTube? How? & Who?... do we approach to make them available to NZ racing fans? :confused: Hell?...give them to me I'll do it! :)

As Dean Martin would say..."Memories Are Made Of This" B)

a beauty.Had a starter in it this year.

Be lucky to afford a guinea pig nowdays.

The way we are going over here There could be a market for guinea pig racing. feed bill would be a lot cheaper. I see Cant. harness breeder Bryan West is the latest to pack his bags and ponies and leave for Aust.

Perhaps it is TVNZ who has them, being pre trackside days? As they don't do any racing nowadays, even in newscasts, they should release them before they are lost forever.

Baz !

He had not long before finished 4th in the Melb Cup,come back to NZ and was virtually ignored and paid more than $20 to win this day, got in excess of $2 1/2 k which was a fair bit of coin back then.

Memphis it was a great race alright... in NZ Record Time! Did you see how young Noel Harris and Des"The Silver Fox" Coppins looked? :D Both guys still outstanding in their field considering they have been in the game such a long time!

Classic Keith Haub...."What a run Sea Swift , there's your Cup Winner....."

Brilliant stuff Baz.

Have enquired as to old TVNZ footage and they want an exorbitant amount of money for the minutest footage.

They are real ar$eholes when it comes to this sort of thing.
