I was still at high school when Vain was racing and working "illegaly" at a TAB on the weekends as i was too young.That horse certainly brings back a few memories some good and others not so good.

it was the kid that had a taste for Perkin's Paste you needed to keep an eye on.
ps , the empty P paste containers, a roll of masking tape was good for homemade firecrackers or explosives. Goose necks off a push bike and lead sinkers made great cannons.
