Looking to JayJay to eventually fill in the blanks or make amendments but he is on Forum House Arrest for 24 hours to see if anyone else can come up with the answers.
Pinjarra 3yo race 1982 with about 16 bookmakers on the lawn out the back.
Betting plunge between two camps. I had my biggest ever bet $2k on one of the contenders the other was owned by a prominent owner of the era and the support for both horses was mammoth.
My choice was slow away from memory and further trouble in the run cost it any chance. The other contender was not good enough.
From memory the race was won by a filly who did not have a great career but had a similar name to an outstanding race mare.
Can any one name the three horses?

What I have worked out is that those of you who do know the answers are probably waiting for your Sunday visit from silver chain. =D> =))
PS sorry to see West Coast go down last night sign of things to come.
A filly that didnt amount to much - was it Flying Wren
2k on the Frog and it got beat hey
Hows Curmudge - hes an alround superstar - he drove in that race - in between kicking goals for Perth - changing with Wiley and the Buzz on the ball - lol
But back in the era where talking about - i won some decent money on a couple of his Friday night drives - might have been the last race on the program each time - it was back on the old 700 metre track . Hed put his horses - 3 or 4 back on the pegs ( they wernt the leader processions they are today ) drive them real quiet - and i tell you what - theres no better feeling to have a piece of cardboard - which has $1600 or $2200 written on it - and Ray would get out at the top of the straight with a fresh horse - and the others were going up and down on the 1 spot
I rated him as a driver back then - very smart driver - and i loved backing his drives at decent E/W prices
