@@austhaitravela Agree. Think Bill Collins call of Placid Ark's win in Oakleigh Plate was on the money, "he's a real machine". Colin Hayes was my idol as a youngster so most I followed during 80's were trained by him.

@@austhaitravela Sure was champion trainer and a gentleman. His saying "the future belongs to those who plan for it" has stuck with me for decades. I'll get around to doing a clip on Placid Ark, plus so many others, in future.
