Lagin I think was Johnny Nick's. Kwiktan did win a race by 14 lengths and they could not pull him up after the race! :huh: Don't know how long he survived for after that run. Not sure if it was the Skeaping.

Dave, there is a lovely chapter on Jean Heming in Legends of the Turf. A good read.

Craig it was the SA Derby, and Pedometer won the Sun International by 14 lengths too. Roland's Song another great one she trained.

Pirates, I am sure they could do that again. I also enjoyed that meeting. I will ask them. Maybe a Friday night meeting on the Poly. I am sure it would attract a big/bigger crowd.
