Uncle Remus returns
PA Auckland It was almost as though Uncle Remus knew he was a centre of attention when he returned to Ellerslie on Saturday as the Horse of the Year.
Looking bright and healthy after his enforced layoff from training and racing. Uncle Remus paraded in the birdcage then, ridden by Bobby Vance, cantered 200 m or so on the course proper in front of the stands. As intelligent as could be imagined. Uncle Remus obviously recalled his surroundings, two or three times stopping with ears pricked to take a good long look at everything. And as usual he was warmly applauded.
