You might remember a very handy harness horse named My Lightning Blue.
I remember well that I used to back it regularly at the Valley on a Friday Night in the "good ole days"
It usually started favourite or second favourite and was a real money earner for me.
It went to New Zealand to contest a major race and they opened betting on it at the TAB.
I put a gorilla on it and went to bed thinking it was going to be favourite.
Next morning I woke up and listened to a replay on the radio (i had set up to tape the race on 3UZ).
My Lightning Blue saluted and paid around $9.50
To quote a hairloss commercial:
"I was absolutely wrapped"
:lol:
