Even for a racing purist it would get monotonous and boring, so you need these little stories to come together in-between.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He describes the \u2018golden moment\u2019 of wanting to share the story was when discovering the quirks between well-known trainers Bob and Bon Hoysted, two brothers with two very different approaches to training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey didn\u2019t really get along \u2013 they trained horses very differently. Bon had this systematic approach, very regimented\u2026Bob was very different, had a backyard stable with these handpicked horses, they all had their individual routine and was very hands-on,\u201d said Mr Crettenden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Bob was always superstitious and paranoid as well, so there were all these wonderful things that made writing the book for me so much easier, because I can tell these funny stories about how weird Bob was, and it helped break up the segments of races.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One amusing anecdote Mr Crettenden discovered was when Bob was returning to Melbourne from a Sydney race meet and got a flat tyre, with Manikato and another racehorse in the back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the time they were the two best horses in Australia, and they are stranded on the side of the road between Benalla and Euroa in the middle of the night with trucks whizzing by,\u201d said Mr Crettenden. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBob \u2013 no handyman \u2013 had his foreman with him, he was handing these two horses and Bob said \u2018Steve, whatever you do, don\u2019t let them go!\u2019,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Just over 12-months ago Mr Crettenden shared his Melbourne Cup predictions with the Moorabool News; this year, he again focused on the roster of international horses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been the year of the Japanese so far in the spring\u2026but the Aussies have two good chances this year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year there\u2019s two Australian horses that both have good chances \u2013 Vow and Declare and Surprise Baby,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Beremboke-based Australian Thoroughbred Bloodstock is part owner of Irish import Southern France, also set to compete in the Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Crettenden explained the Cup has become \u201cquite a random race\u201d in modern times, where long ago punters were able to follow a horse\u2019s career to the \u2018race that stops a nation\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the old colonial days, people would pick out a horse from when they ran in the Victoria Derby 12-months ago and they follow them all through the next year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manikato: \u2018The Man\u2019 by Adam Crettenden is now available to purchase for $34.99 through Melbourne Books at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.melbournebooks.com.au\/products\/manikato\">www.melbournebooks.com.au\/products\/manikato<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Meg Kennedy Local race caller and author Adam Crettenden has again delved into Australia\u2019s rich horse racing history.
