Fantastic. Loved it. And the music - old Daryl's just right. And hey don't they look in such great condition. Can't wait to go - I'm waiting for Apache Cat to arrive. Might have to wait a bit though, I guess he might be doing the rounds.

I think everyone should support Living Legends as much as possible. It's an essential establishment for the remaining years of these long-living past champions.

For all the do gooders that keep on saying how cruel it is to see horses go to the knackery...give this some financial support and keep our champions in a good retirement. This should be FULLY sponsored by Unitab or the others who make money from the industry. I beleive there is a stud farm sponsoring...might be Darley or someone, but it is a good cause. Maybe ban the collectors from the other charity groups and let this mob collect @ every race meeting plus in TAB's.

My wife knows that I will be going when we go to Melbourne in September.

She has resigned herself to the fact that it is definitely on the agenda.

I really believe that the owners of these horses should be the ones sponsoring their retirement. Really, how much money did they make out of them in prizemoney alone?
If there was no Living Legends would they still be looking after their champions elsewhere?

I've been there and it is good to see them and reminisce. They could do more with the place, and when I went there was no admission charge, just donations. They could charge something small, because the demographic that go will be 95% racing fans, the majority of which would go whether it was free or $10.

They now charge a $5 fee to visit the horses down in their paddocks. The $5 fee includes entrance to the horse area, where you can visit with, pat them and have photos taken with them (extract taken from living legends website at http://www.livinglegends.org.au).
 
Great photos Mile High.

Ironically he never gets a mention on the adds either . The owner would donate more than any one i would suggest.
