He certainly was,when he broke at the start nobody gave him a chance despite him being odds on favourite but he still gave great horses a beating.The only other horse that i can remember who the punters loved the same was Kingston Town

I always loved the guts of Roma Hanover too.

Remember this,the most outstanding performance i have seen from a horse and it was in the Miracle Mile

Yes that was some performance. I was more into the gee gees back in the day but definitely remember Paleface Adios and Hondo Grattan.

Gundary Flyer did the same thing in a Miracle mile and broke the record.

Used to work there Friday nights when I was going to uni. Met some weird and wonderful characters and witnessed a very well-known underworld figure pull a gun on Kevin Newman who was the leading driver / trainer at the time.

Some great horses went around. Mount Eden was a gun as was Lucky Creed and Cocky Raider but my personal fave was Rocket Glenfern. Not as good as the others but had dodgy legs and ran his heart out.

Of course PVL was the boss of Harness Racing for some years before he went on to Racing and then footy.

I remember when there was a beer strike in Sydney and they bought truckloads of this from Melbourne.
I was drinking in the bar at the old Texas Tavern in the Cross one night when they served me a can of this, I promptly pushed it back over the bar and it went all over the barman.
Next thing I knew I was outside getting a few snacks in the head from the bouncers.
But it did taste like cats urine !
