The lady in question would prefer I didn’t put this photo on Friday Flashback, but here goes!
I was lucky enough to win this midweek race at Harold Park on 24/04/1984 on a pacer called Kamath. The driver of the runner up Magnus Cabell was Ms. Kim Moore, today better known as Mrs Kim Waugh, galloping trainer extroardinaire.
Kim learned the basics of horse management in the harness racing world under the tutelage of master horseman Charlie Parsons. She won 80 races in her short time as a driver including 20 at Harold Park.
Nowadays Kim is firmly ensconced among Sydney’s best thoroughbred trainers. She and husband Mark Waugh run a state of the art training operation at Wyong (NSW).
The above photo was snapped at a Tuesday afternoon meeting at the famous Glebe circuit. Please observe the number of cars parked on the infield. How times have changed.
