Next Saturday my grandad's best friend has a horse - Dougs Platter - racing for a chance to be invited to the Eureka. If he gets in the race, he is taking my whole family with him to Club Menangle in Australia. I have never been out of the United States before. I am so excited! Please Dougs Platter... Please win on Saturday!!!

I was living in perth when Royal Force and of course the mighty Pure Steel were racing. Little Royal was a favourite of mine. Both he and Pure Steel unlucky in the 1976 Interdominion In Adelaide won by Carclew. Great to see these races on You Tube

I was at Albion Park in 75 or 76 ..I watched paleface adios beat the blue lights ....Saturday nights at Albion Park was big in them days ...I was 17

Genuinely exciting: imagine the straining sinews and will-power of horse and men. Thanks.

Great effort from last on those ridiculous small Aussie tracks. Locarno always had a great finish.

Quality of the film. Ben Hur winning driver in the 1st race on the card .

Beautiful team driving Left main contender in death Handcock at his best

Champion field Champion horse wins

The golden years of harold park

Harold Park was a top trotting track and the best greyhound track in the world they should not have closed it better closed Wentworth Park instead

Harold Park, surrounded by condensed housing and potential punters. maximum transport Menangle (back of Bourke) nothing, no one . Transport (Camel)

"promosm" ☝️

As much as I loved Harold park I love me menangle

what a champion he was

Pale Arse au Revoir?

These were the days. Shame Micron got put out of the race early as he was fast.

Always a non-event when the Kiwis aren't there.

Poor old Paleface. Won over 100 races and would have won many more with a good driver.

Well , what can you say !! The crowd certainly got their money’s worth - two absolutely champions with a huge run by Poppy .

Does anyone know who the racecaller is here?

Is there a reason these idiots don’t use headphones?

I love the trotters

What a champion. I saw every one of his Harold Park wins. Thanks for the wonderful memories. ❤

Bills Student sweeting up still held 3rd behind the Two CHAMPS and in front another CHAMP

Lucky mission's dad, "lucky creed!" cheers 🍻

How unlucky was paleface!! 2nd, "beaten a lip!" in both the 1974 and 80 miricle mile! (and who knows how many more!) Great QLD champion! Cheers 🍻

Beautiful memories.

I was there. It was so exciting. Watching this video brings back my memories like it was yesterday.

I remember friendly footman! Along with 🐨 King, gammelite, frosty imp, tidy Jason, romantic Chris, pure steel, maori's idol, lucky mission, amphion, under a cloud, pale face, etc etc. Those were, "the real harness racing days!!" Cheers 🍻

The very reason there should not be a passing lane ,

I feel so privileged & honoured to have been there, watching this little beauty. Thanks to my Dad, Keith Pearse's love of the sport. It must be in the blood. My 2nd cousin, Sir Clive Uhr founded Albion Park. My Dad never knew this. Harness racing is no doubt, in my blood.

I am blessed and honoured to have seen this little beauty, race.

The greatest miracle mile win ever…simply amazing

Who drove Chokin this night, terrible drive on a tight track.

It will be an exciting career for you Michelle , good luck .

Shame we didn’t see the race !!!!

Certainly looked lucky that Paleface Adios lost I reckon . It looked to me that he clipped Lord Module as he crossed at the start .

Nothing better than being at Harold Park when the crowd would roar at the likes of Pure Steel!! Just fabulous

Adaptor - a great example of how , certainly in trotting , a horse and small time trainer from a tiny country town , can come out and blitz higher profile fellow champions .

Another great champion Halwes - there were some wonderful horses in those days with plenty of owner / trainer / driver being the same bloke . Not referring to Halwes of course - just reminiscing !

Oh, this is the year the selection committee chose Manaville ahead of Our Sir Vancelot for the last spot after Our Sir Vancelot had won one of the previous week's Qantas Sprints with Rainbow Knight winning the other Qantas Sprint. For some reason they chose Manaville, very strange decision. Great win by Iraklis...

Never heard "Adios"pronounced that way before. Thanks for posting.

What a champ,omg.

Absolute Legend just before my time this bloke. But my family watched him race and they all said ppl used to cry at what this amazing horse did to his rivals.

That was fast. Pay day.146;9 wild

Great day's with all the Adios horses going around. Young Quinn deserved the win. But Paleface Adios was admirable in about 5th given the race and sat in the death all race.

Sheer toughness

Good field, bummer about Master Musician, nice run Bee Ber Cee.

What a disgraceful drive by Brian Hancock shunting Master Musician off the track because of his own poor judgement. Complete hack
