[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 652603, member: 4386"] Sorry to hear that. On a less sombre note I was prospecting near Ballark in Victoria, southwest of Wallace, and I found an old overgrown racetrack in the bush. As a jockey you probably know of the famous 1890 Melbourne cup winner Carbine ("Old Jack"), who won 30 principal races in New Zealand and Australia and who sired other winners such as Wallace, named after the stud owner who had a Lerderderg stud. Well, carbine used to train on this track. His bones went to Melbourne Museum and are now on display in the Australian Racing Museum and Hall of Fame in Melbourne. A strange feeling, standing there alone on that overgrown track.... [ATTACH type="full"]4374[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]4375[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
