This ICON of the harness world is back in Adelaide to celebrate his 50th birthday this weekend.
The former Lord of Klemzig, Vale Park, Walkerville and surrounding areas will be feted at Walkerville footy club - the scene of many of his outstanding performances in the Walkies jumper.
Many thought he may struggle to bring up the 50 but by virtually retiring and doing nothing for the last 15-20 years but he has done it on the bit.
This webSTAR taught his brother Geoffrey and cousins Mark, Ronald and Brett all they know and was duly presented with The Nevada Smoke award for services to the industry.
He is now the backbone of Geoffrey's stable and the main reason behind any success in Melbourne.
Happy Birthday SLUG.
