ROSEHILL

Bourke’s Law rules the opposition

SYDNEY: Bourke’s Law may have a hole in the neck, but he showed it did not affect his racing ability when he won the Kentucky Fried Chicken Stakes over 1400 m at Rosehill yesterday..

Part-owned by Taree detectives Dan Bourke and Peter Thomas, the impressive three-year-old gelding is named after the television series, Bourke’s Law.

Bourke’s Law, who has won $18,740 in stakes, was bought at the Scone Yearling Sales early last year for $800.

“This was because all other prospective buyers shunned him because of his gaping hole in the near side of his neck”, Thomas said.

‘The large indention, the size of a fist, is the result of an injection mishap when he was a weanling.

Bourke’s Law, the 5-4 favourite, trained by Max Lees at Broadmeadow and ridden by John Wade, came away over the final stages to win by 5½ lengths from Kaidaham, 5-1, with Star Power, 4-1, a long neck away third.

A white metal with white crystalline salts that shine With a greenish glow in the dark. Radium belongs to the same group as calcium, but is a very scarce element as all the time it is breaking up into other elements.

Peter John WALSH   APM     
AKA Peter WALSH, Walshy

 


Passing of retired Senior Assistant Commissioner Peter Walsh registered number 11722.
Peter joined the NSW Police Force in 1965, retiring in 2003 following 38 years of service.
Peter dedicated his life to the service of the people of New South Wales, not only was he a Police Officer but spent many years as a member of the Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA) and was even a flight crew member with the Westpac Rescue Helicopter whilst attached to the Northern Region.
Over a distinguished career, he earned the respect of colleagues across the organisation leading through such incidents as the 1991 Strathfield massacre which saw the murder of seven people and the 1995 ambush murders of two officers in his command, Senior Constables Robert Spears and Peter Addison, at Crescent Head near Kempsey.
Beyond his rank and achievements, Peter was a mentor, a leader, and a trusted mate to many.
On behalf of our members, we extend our sincere condolences to Peter’s family, friends and former colleagues. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
May Retired Senior Assistant Commissioner Walsh rest in peace.

* Story behind any Nickname:    

“Botfly” came from one of the SenCon’s at Dubbo – but I don’t know why.

“Boxhead” – no idea where / when that nickname adhered to Peter.

“Smiley” – I suppose that was on his face 99% of the time.

“Yapper” – apparently he didn’t mind a conversation.

Class 112 swearing in 15.9.67 – rain had washed out the parade so we were moved indoors. I recall Barry Elliott being front row on the left, not sure who is next but then Phil Roots and I remember Phil and Barry were real good mates. About the only other I can place is front row 2nd from the right, Barry Faint and I think the tall Constable with the cap on is Jeff Jarratt, having already been sworn in on his birthday prior to the parade, as Cadets were.
