I’ve already written about the St Andrews Day Races in my usual prolix purple-prose style. See the link above. This one was a special occasion with the running of the 2nd St Andrews Day Race Meeting. Founder and inaugural driver Murray Bain had passed away earlier in March 1974. This was his memorial tribute. I’m holding the trophy which was donated by my/our Scone Veterinary Practice ‘Morgan-Howey-Fraser and Partners’.
I don’t think we’ll see the likes of this again? I hope I’m wrong!
