Where did Greg Harper train? (Anstey Beach??)

West Australian Racing
I can't find such a place on google but I have a vague recollection of (Anstey Beach) being after his name in the racebook at some point.

    Anstey Beach used to be part of, what is now, Secret Harbour (close to Lark Hill).

    Greg Harper trained from the property next to Chris Willis (took over when Harper was suspended) which is just south of Lark Hill on Mandurah Road.

    Thanks. Yes, I remember seeing Chris Willis horses in the bandages and performing very similarly to Harper's horses. Even being in Sydney and not knowing anyone in WA, it was pretty obvious to me what was going on. It certainly helped on the punt.

    That's where he moved to after he tried to made a comeback, Anstey beach is near Secret Harbour.
    His set up in Capel was pretty handy, could have been a great setup if could have nailed it, Miles of beach, Soft sand for bush work and Bunbury track 15 minutes away.

    I believe Dungy and William Pike separated.  :D

    Regarding Pike and a recent post win interview... Just a tip Willie..... The term is putting someone on a pedestal not a pedal stool.

    Damp squid. I like The I.T Crowd and thought of the show when I heard Pike's interview.

    Shothru was a horse trained by the great Colin Jillings. Not a champion but one of my favourites in the 70s
