after reading the uncle thread many memories came back to me.
so lets hear your stories and ask a few questions.
lets see who remembers ?
One day meeting,very late 70's / early 80's.
the betting ring was full with bookies and punters..
just prior to a race a whistle sounds..
punters jump out of trees to plunge on a horse.
horse did not win, ran 3rd i think.
what track was it at ?
name horse ?
name trainer ?
lets see who knows !!
