This is a better call but another has the crowd sounds when the NZ pair make their move. Its awesome to hear the roar that goes up but this is definately the better caller. 'This is worth coming miles to see' I bet it was!
-
I've just listened to both this call and Bill Collins call - and this call is the one that brings tears to your eyes. Bill Collins call didn't stir any emotion. Sorry but Frank O'Brien and Bonecrusher take out the '86 Cox Plate.

You're not sure what happened to Bonecrusher either, by the looks. He went on to race 19 more times, winning five of those starts, two of which were Group One. He also managed to run third in the 1988 Cox Plate. Sean Ritchie was always his strapper, son of Trainer Frank, both in Australia and New Zealand. His last race was 3 years and two months after the above event. This race took no "toll", and he was not "retired soon after."
-
Bonecrusher carried on to win more Group 1s in '87, but I think that was the last year he raced? If you want to know what happened to Waverley star, read Lance O'Sullivan's autobiography. What happened to such a brilliant horse is shameful, and I'm glad Lance did what he did.

This is and was the greatest race ever...my friend was the strapper for Bonecrusher back in NZ unfortunately the horse loves to win and sadly broke down not long afterwards. This race took its toll and he was retired soon after. Not sure what happened to Waverly star
-
"One of the greatest races ever".... How true. You can understand how gutted the connections of Waverley Star would have been. I almost feel their pain, still.
-
Huge win looked beaten on so many occassions
-
This call by Frank O'Brien is bloody near as good as Bill Collins more famous call of the same race.Just got a bit tongue tied on the line but the race obviously got to him just like it got to Bill
-
both was good i was called in to dj osullivans house to watch that race over and over,when christmas time he loved the race also the loss,but he would never show the japan cup win.
