    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.
