Mate um Frank Kennedy obviously an icon of this track Legend uh mate I can tell you stories so when I was a kid my grandmother she lived in the same street as uh Les Harper right next door actually next door so we had gray and
What we do on a Sunday morning gave it to Grandmother’s place and we listen to the replays of the races back then you used to get a record so we’ sit around and listen to the record be played of the race is at Wentworth park or Harold
Park on the Saturday night and it was it was the man the greatest you know and grandmother loved him everyone he was just the best race caller ever and still probably to this day only maybe PA is close that look it’s just a it’s a Friday night at Richmond it’s it’s a 700
Race does it make it special though because it’s named after in honor of him definitely because my grandmother she thought the world of him she absolutely loved him and he was the best ever so it is special I know it’s only a low grade race one the four win but it does
Mean a lot you know cuz the man was a genius yeah tell us a bit about this this dog it’s three on the Trot now um you got to be happy with the way he’s going over 700 oh look um I had him in Western strag train and was told he was
No good so we advertised him over there for $2,000 and he’s won 34,000 since he’s come back so he’s going all right so we’re happy with him the way he’s improved yeah just steadily work through the grades at the plan yeah yeah yeah look I don’t know how far he’ll go but
Um yeah we’ll see yeah this I don’t think he’s up to the top once I think he’s probably close to his grade now he might have to go up the coins L CU we don’t sort of have many fifth grades here now so we won’t struggle have to
Get him up there you’ve won this race it means a bit congratulations good on you thanks very much thanks
