Dave, I went to hyde park a few times in the 70s, you needed a very good dog for there, class of graded dog very good, don't think they ran many open races at the track in the 70s from what I can remember.

Remember betting Albert Drapers quirky blue dog to win the Bolton derby when he ran as Bill Trent ? Albert had two entries that year when he ran the blue dog in the first round heats on the Saturday when the dog won odds on he then ran him again on the Monday winning more money in bets than the actual final .
