Poor Sue a heroine of lost times. Greenfield Gina, my god, we loved her at Romford. Chocolte Chip, who could forget the 'match' with Snugboro Rose at Rommers Shanuvulin Bingo, Hackney superstar Gizmo Pasha!
et al
Dont care how fast they are now, they were classic times

Great Festival that was, I went too. And at Wstw Chicita Bananas battles with Waltham Abbey. A couple of years later Where the Limo, and another railer sprinter that I forget now who was a standing dish at Hove. Dragged my non dog mates in for the early sprint race at 1/2 and paid for our weekend.. great days.And Gizmo Pasha that great big tank of a dog vs Pantile owned by the Cypriot guy Nadir..
I see Greenfield Madam I had a monkey on AP for a comp (before 1st round) I think Hackney, but maybe Wembley and she got to final and was withdrawn lame and I was gutted and thought done my money,and saw in my bank account a week later Co ral had credited it back, without me asking that I'd not have done as considered the money done. Would that happen now?
great post wilkinson

Being honest Swain... Pantile is my favourite hurdler of all time!!! I started going dogs in 89, I went nearly every night for 5 years, always Romford but most tracks in the South East..Addict!!! That's how I used to bet, in them days, the big owners had their dogs graded at first, let them work themselves up before going into opens and competitions.... Back a Nadir, Southgate, De Moll, Chakko owned dog in an A7 is when to lump on.... You knew it cost thousands, must be able to win a low grade race. Nowadays owners want dogs breaking 24.00 in trials, themdays they didn't want the same standard of dog breaking 25.00. Trap 1 please Mr Simpson, where would you like me to put this brown envelope??

Misty water-coloured memories, of the way we were. Shattered pictures of the smiles we left behind, what's too painful to remember, we simply choose to forget, so it's the laughter we will remember, forever we remember, the way we were. Gladys Knight.
Not sure anyone mentioned Druids Johno. Wasnt he Prince Andrew's dog and very short for a Derby final, one year?

Ravage again went on the deck at exeter flapper, the kid leading up put a loose fitting jacket on and the dog somehow put his front paw up inside it as it was flapping and went on the rory, it was only 5 infront at the time.

DML... Big Lal?? Can't place him... We used to go cheap side, even though I had an owners pass.. Used to be around 15 of us every meeting, only Grant goes now out of our little crew... Used to be Harry Hyman, Roger Barton, Alan Henderson, Barry Dennis and Ray Rains... 5 bookmakers at the Cheap side, how times change... Bought my first dog off Phil McCloughlin who is now a TV Star.. ... Oi Oi Kilbarry!!!
Sorry for hijacking the Wingspares Thread... I remember most of our little gang going to Hove for an Inter-track... Romford provided the coach... We all backed Convey Captain at 10/1.... Oi Oi.... Happy Days!!!

Mustapha you must know Lal then? Millionaire now through petrol stations by all accounts.
We were there every meet, owned Ballinabola May for a while, anyway, great days

mustapha - I was a cheap side part of furniture then at Romf, I'm sure I'd likely recognise you, great days..was big Pantile fan too, early paced monster
And disappointed old favourites not on g-data: Rathduff Gallant (in the rain), Very Rare, the super stayer Ballyfolian Plea

Rathduff Fever ... I know all of those dogs... Agree with you on Timmy... We backed him to win the Puppy Cup ante post 3/1, he was 10/11 the next day before it started.. No good though.. I bred a litter to Bonney Seven. (2 decent graders, 2 never raced injured, 1 too slow)... I owned Kilbarry Six and later Lager Top in those days. Lager Top was by Foretop, my favourite b1tch along with Rychelle... Kilbarry ran against Chequers, Burst, Very Rare and Ballyfolian Plea (400)... Pond Typhoon, Rockies Glory and Suttons Hill were the Track Champs!!! I don't know if you go Romford now at all?? I Tic Tac for Simmons on Fridays and Saturdays for my sins!!! Obviously did something bad in a past life....

Kilbarry Six... (Aka Toby).... Great memory Swayne...had him at home, he died aged 6 having his teeth out.. Reacted badly to the anaesthetic... Be good to meet you... lol.
DML, yes I do remember Society Trio, not one of my faves though.. He was no Risky Way or Russ Bridge!!!

Remembering Aghadown Timmy, brought back memories of when i was driving down to Walthamstow for the Arc but car blew a gasket and never made it. Think it was the year Fires Of War won

Hello Blackie was one of my favourite dogs as well.I've fond memories of driving to Ramsgate to back Barry Silkman's Carlsberg Champ in the final of the Kent St. Leger, smashed out and made all but was up against it against Banana.
Interesting to see that years Derby favourite Druids Johno in the sprint against Ravage Again. I take it Ravage bolted up that night?

Seem to remember it was Shawfield, maybe 670m. I interviewed Harry and he said some thought it a miss-match, but he didnt think so. Think he might have been trying to pull the wool over some eyes, but back-fired

I HAD BEEN DOGS MANY TIMES, BUT THE NIGHT I TRULY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT WAS A FINAL WITH WALTHAM ABBEY IN TRAP 3 AND CHICITA BANANA IN 5 AND THERE WAS A PACKED STAND WITH BANANA INFLATABLES. I BACKED WALTHAM ABBEY AND IT LED AND CHICITA FOUND TROUBLE 3 TIMES AND LOST BY A HEAD. I didnt back many fortunate winners over the years but that one was the catalyst to my stow love affair. Knew the owner of Flying loco if anyone remembers the A1/OPEN DOG, CRACKED OUT FROM trap 3 in a small final at 6/1 and the oi ois rang around the track. In the bar straight after going loco in accapulco song came on, great memories. Miss those neon lights of stow.
