Bruce McAvaney

I think you were there.

Pride of Jenny again at the Gold Coast.

What about that run?

I reckon she got 20 lengths out in front, Bruce.

Don't you love that, to see her do that?

Well, when Winx finished, I happened to be in the same room as Bruce, and I said to him, where does she fit in the pantheon of Australian horse racing?

You were still going close to half an hour later, Macca, and then you looked up, and I think you looked at me and said, this bloke legitimately knows nothing about racing.

and the disappointment was in your face, I could see it.

Well, Jim, I'll tell you one.

Hey, JB, not the first time you're disappointing me.

No, I've done it many times.

I'd like to know what else he's done, Brucey boy.

Oh, because I've just looked up Empire Rose won the 1988 Melbourne Cup at 5-1.

5-1.

5-1, and Bruce has had 400 each way.

There's a nice little... In the 80s.

Back in the 80s, you'd nearly buy a house in South Australia for that, Bruce.

Hey, do you know what, Billy?

I've still got the money.

Yes.
