Think that’s Frankie Durr on the nearest horse in #1 and my vague stab is Yarmouth. #2 is Lingfield. Final answer, Merlyn!

Cheers. Arrived here in Auckland just after 6am, cleared their strict customs and biosecurity within the hour, and now killing time waiting to check in the hotel…

Predictably schmaltzy and the choreographed racing action was as unrealistic as you’d expect. But there was some real racing clips and the narrative ran true enough to the history. Worse ways to kill 100 minutes and it’s available on YouTube…
