Winning Post - Letter Of The Week Archive

“On the turn 500 out, Fearless Pride and My Axeman together, a length to Lawman, Kingston Town can’t win and the three-year-old Grosvenor running on.
“My Axeman took the lead from Fearless Pride. Grosvenor down the outside is after them. My Axeman in front, Grosvenor … and Kingston Town flashing. He might win yet, the champ.
“Grosvenor took the lead. Oh, Kingston Town swamping them. What a run, Kingston Town wins a neck from Grosvenor.”
I cannot find anywhere what Grosvenor’s trainer, Geoff Murphy, said as they hit the line.
Maybe it was, “Well done, TJ!”
Great days — best ever.
I hope Saturday’s Cox Plate is half as exciting as 1982’s.
