A great line-up of MGs in Tauranga to celebrate 100 year of the marque. 🏁

😲 - a brilliant win !

great race

Wasn't Scotch Tar a free legged trotter. He was so fast he took on the pacers in the big mile race over the NZ cup carnival. Just from my memory this is.

Loved the 70's. A golden decade in talent and popularity. Can remember all the horses.

My grandfather Henry Skinner driving Hi Foyle. Legend

I wouldn’t mind seeing lunar chances Easter and NZ CUP. Also some of Noodlums great triumphs. It was a great era back then

I have the whisky glasses from this race 1983

Gee Alex Park rocked in those days.

Te Puke Expects was a bit of a favorite of mine, trotting bred by Game Pride I think.

A birthday present for a 12 year old harness racing nut, I devoured this book in days.

Still remember Rondels Interdominion final win like it was yesterday. Wonderful era for harness racing in NZ.

Great

61 years ago today…

Great era for NZ square gaiters.

anyone that dares tell u theve seen a better pacer than poppy.....and theve seen a better Trotter than maoris idol r liars.....period!!...those 2 horses r 2 in a million!!!!!

I had 5 Eachway on #6 Comedy Lad,. What a boomer when it won the Auckland Cup.

21 April 1984. "84 the year of Camelot in the NZ Cup

"they love it" - - "they won't stop clapping...." 3.15.3 was "off the charts"

the great roydon glen my one of my all time favs growing up as a kid in the early mid 80s fred fletcher

keep em coming love these old mid 80s races

Robalan was always my favourite I remember his race in 1974 that's the year my son was born

Most of her Wins there l think except for a couple were At Auckland Alexandra Park

From my home town, Ashburton

Do you have the 1978 NZ Trotting Cup won by Trusty Scott?

What a great field. So many top pacers.

So close and yet so far . We often hear about the one that should have won , and Tuapeka Star must be one of the most unlucky ones , but that’s racing !!!

Would have to have been one of the champ’s easiest runs / wins - Gammalite , one of the toughest horses to ever grace a trotting track .

I'm still watching the greatest event of the NZ CUP ever, best field

I'm still here watching Cardy

Nice. Thanks for uploading it.

Unbelievable

He was simply magnificent. Had the privilege of watching him live several times, and watching him stride out was breathtaking.

Great run by Steel Jaw to hang tough with the Champ

after 60 odd years the guy still sends a shiver up the spine. He beat the greatest and was the greatest

Robalan what a champion horse..destroyed that field...

Terrible commentator.....never liked him back in the day and seeing this proves it.

Tyler Mac here come

Armalight and gammalite, Australia and NZ greatest stayers having one of the greatest battles in Trotting

Good old Reg Clapp. A very fluent commentator when he wasn’t fizzed on the Gin

CJ still hung on for third. Wow, that juice!

At his best before he succumbed to the back problems. Poetry in motion, a god given talent, arguably the greatest swing in golf ever.

Five years later, 14,607 km (9076 miles) away, Robin Dundee would again finish second to Cardigan Bay -- at Freehold Raceway, on the day Cardigan Bay became the sport's first millionaire.

she’s like a beach babe ooooooouuuuuff

geez, halfway through the race the announcer says " they have a mile and 3 furlongs to go " !! how long was this freakin' race ?!

Ah yes Ian, a real favourite race. Jimmy Jacques was really getting a point across. Other favourite races was a race 1 week prior to his final Miracle Mile. Touted as to old. He came out and slaughtered the field. Fred Hastings said at the conclusion "see you next week Trigger" Unfortunately a quick back up for a 12 year old is a bridge to far. When he came back on a farewell tour the crowd swelled at Menangle. For 1 reason only. Smoken Up.

How tough was Trigger!

Talk about over use of the wipe by Clark! The best stayer won, he didn't sit and sprint like most sitting behind the leader, Clark applied pressure on Vinny from the 600, what a gutsy tough horse!

But for quarter cracks in his hooves he could have been anything. A world beater at his best . Sad that the Globe Derby line died out not long after, with Greats like Lawn Derby, Johny Globe , Lordship etc leaving lasting memories

More drugs, both of them, than Flo Jo.
