That is the owner I was thinking of indeed - Chris Barber-Lomax! Panglima of course rang a bell right a way.
You are a legend Ged - thanks for that. Here is a great interview with Peter Easterby. A must watch. They weren`t scared to run them back then! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv54KaVd2JM Alverton was a tragic loss. Such a great horse too. Peter Easterby lost another very good horse that year 1979 too but I can`t remember it`s name. Star something? I`m sure it won some good races and he thought the world of it. |

Ged-Thanks again, you've further jogged my memory. At that time I almost backed all Sandy Barclay's mounts probably causing my mix up with the Brooke trained winner.Didn't back Rockemar in fact I didn't have a good meeting either year. Other winners I recall were Audrey Joan and Florescence (Portland).Amazing how many sellers there were at such a big meeting.
Themightymac- Just watched the Peter Easterby clips. Great to see all those great horses again and saw a lot of them in the flesh.There is no doubt in my mind that this was the golden age of NH racing. |

It sure was the Golden era of NH racing Tommy in my opinion too. Little Owl was a personal favourite of mine. Glad you enjoyed it.
