Spot on Dave ! July 1967.

Actually No 2 was SEA COTTAGE in Syd Laird's colors and NO 19 the lightly weighted JOLLIFY in the Saunders silks.

Was not a punter and very under-age to know about racing but come the 1st week in July and Ernie Duffield was on the radio all over the neighbourhood, he could really rattle them home.

Yes, I might have mixed them up.

I think I had just turned 18.

But those were GOOD DAYS !

Might I remind the Clanners that Jollify and the "Great One" dead-heated here.

Having watched replay a few times, I really thought jollify held on but who can begrudge sea cottage the share of the spoils running with a bullet in his backside, these where horses who bought people to the course not to see the fashion

R28 take home salary in 1967 ! Surely that was a good pay cheque then ?

Nothing to bemoan, Sir

i think that you are wrong there regarding the bullet in that particular race.. I read somewhere that he was shot prior to a July yet he still ran and finished 4th.
