44 years ago last night on May 26, 1979, when Flemington ran a ‘Reverse Race’ (clockwise around the track).

Thanks for posting Jack -

I have to admit that I had to check your math as I can't believe that was 44 years ago, but it was...

Not sure if it happens with others out there but whenever I have to remember something from the past, I always way underestimate how long it's actually been....  For example, I'll think of something, and in my head I think it's only been about 10 years ago, and then I take the time to figure it out and it's more like 20 or 25.  My basic rule now is whenever I think of something from the years ago, I come up with an initial # and then add at least a decade or two!

So true, Joe! Time just flies by and sometimes I think 1980 was like 20 years ago. Not even close!

I recall that Les Katona was a frequent winner of the "right turn" races.  Come to think of it, Les was a frequent winner when you made left turns at Flemington.  Scott Ely
