Trained by the great Pat Mullins, Lacca Champion was THE dog of 1978. I was lucky to see him run at Brough Park in the trainers championship. He was a fantastic greyhound.... enjoy his brilliant win in 1978.
What nostalgia! I well remember my first Derby final night in 1980 at White City. I was in awe of the place…. the immaculate all turf track, brilliant track lighting, colourful huge tote boards….. and the 30,000crowd! How Indian Joe won it from Hurry on Bran that night after an injury scare the week before was just something else…… wonderful memories of the greatest track I’ve had the privilege to get to visit!
Can remember putting my 40p pocket money on Lacca Champion, sad went into Mecca Bookmakers for me as I was Only 14 and I got £1 note on Monday morning. Happy memories
@mwanacomete I have written to TV companies such as BBC and Tyne Tees who tell me that they destroyed most footage after it was televised due to space!!! Can you credit that!
