1 of them went well, you can't be 4 wide for the whole journey on a soft/heavy track and expect there to be some grunt in the end, a very poor ride, I'm usually a big fan of Will.

Subby was one of the first horses I backed ever. Got me into the horses. RIP the big fella.

I also loved "The Kingdom" which broke down today - sad day for all connections and me, who backed it regularly.

Some of the vision of subby visiting sick and disabled children in hospital is amazing. Such a placid beautiful horse. You’d swear he knew the kids were ill.

Showing my age here.... Strawberry Road amongst my earlier bets. But I reckon Dad put a $1 onThink Big for me in the cup the year it won..... 1975?

My first memory of horse racing/betting was when the old man chucked 50 clams on Kiwi to win the 83 Melbourne Cup, I was 9.

I still remember his TAB account number from when he'd ring his bets through then listen to them on the radio.

"Account number 6650420"
"Good evening Chris, how it's going tonight?"

I remember a dog that used to run at Gawler and Angle Park called Wild Country that seemed to never lose.

I was at the Show and my brother who put $2 on Dolphin Prince at Victoria Park when I was about 8. Ended up taking home about 20 showbags. I “shouted” an amusement for my brother and girlfriend which was the mirror maze, she got stuck in there and balled her eyes out. An attendant had to get her out :lol:

Gurners Lane was the first time I asked my old man to put a bet on for me (was 10 at the time) - He's never been a racing man so Im pretty sure he didn't get it on but threw a few sheckles my way knowing I'd been into him about it.

Was on Subby in 92' so was already a favourite of mine even before his non-racing career began, very sad news :(

My brother used my old mans account and won over $500 one night, dad lived in Fisherman's Bay and my brother was living at Moana at the time so the old man was filthy as he had to drive his card down so he could withdraw it, I'm sure he took a commission.

This was early to mid 90's.

Betting account? Mine was put on by the old man with the SP at the local. Possibly showing my age.

I remember going into a pub in Pt Pirie (midweek), would’ve been 1993. There was a bookmaker in a small room off of the front bar.

One used to work out of the Portland hotel years ago, mind you back then every pub in the Port probably had an SP.

Wild Country was a speed machine over the very short distances
I reckon it won over 10+ races in a row at one stage
