@kelletman Why do you only make excuses for the "great" Hong Kong Sprinters and then fail to acknowlodge the more obvious excuses for the better Australian sprinters?

I've lost track of how many countries Takeover Target won in!

@SvendBosanvovski I remember River Seine. He beat my Winfreux in the Doomben Cup, the year year before Winfreux won it. He was a bit of a "gay deceiver" as was the term back then. We've previously discussed old Persian Puzzle... Carnival " sydney middle distance horse, 1970s ? I've backed a few 100/1 winners. Ton of Cheek down the Flem. 'straight 6'. Fernando in a 7-horde race at warwick farm. Got a little 125/1.. he led all the way. Stan's Pride in the mud at Sandown.

@Baskerville22 I do remember him. I think he originally came from South Australia just as I was really getting interested in racing - about 1963-65. He was a good welter horse, but I don't think he won any black type races. Some of my old favoutites from that era. Do you remember River Sceine? Persian Puzzle? And the only horse I have ever backed on the nose at 100/1 (single bet) and collected - Carnival?

[SvendBosanvovski]

@Baskerville22 Yes I remember him.  He raced in the early 70s, won a Herbert Power, and just loved to get way out in front. I think you will need to go back closer to 40 years for good old Scotch and Dry. By the way, I bought a wonderful book on the history of Australian Horse racing last weekend. It has special articles on some of those great old forgotten champions: Vo Rogue, Samson, and Winfreux, to name a few. Its about the same size as the 150th Melbourne Cup book. Same price.

@SvendBosanvovski

Going back to your recollections about Samson. There was another Melb. sprinter/middle-distance type who had great longervity - raced not long after Samson's days - and though not reaching the heights of the former, was a magnificent 'old-stager', usually racing under huge weights - Alcatraz.. That one might test you...

I now remember that tearaway Melbourne syayer from 30 years ago - Scotch & Dry !
