Max is pickin; one or both of the Riordan lads rode in that race...

and WD is bound to have been in there...on 

a few other names p'raps..Chris McNab? Gus Clutterbuck? Bruce Compton, Brian Andrews (what a horseman he was!)

MM

No Riordans. You need to attach the jockeys to a horse....

McNab was probably still in short pants, Clutterbuck still mucking out back at the stables. Compton and Andrews riding at Ellerslie that day.

the gardening thing...ok must be Herb Rauhihi LOL

Nice try. Herb had ridden BELLA UNION - Rees might remember her - to 3rd in the Hopeful Stakes that day but no ride in the big one

Okay I'll say The Peka riding Dark Knowledge?  

Yessss ! Later the gardener at Stoney Bridge. It felt surreal to have this bloke who had been a Champion jockey weeding the flowerbed outside my office window. 1 point !

I'll go for Herb on Count Kereru,

WD on Patrida

Did Ron Taylor ride in the race?

MM

Count Keruru - M Campbell. NG already got that one.

WD Skelton - Patrida - NO

No, the Don of  El Ganador did not have a mount
