There was a distinct Racing Hall of Fame flavour about last week's Pic from the Past.

Most of the entries correctly named the pair as John Wheeler and Peter Mitchell, though there were a few who couldn't place the great Bonecrusher's owner.

Both Wheeler and Bonecrusher were inducted into the Racing Hall of Fame earlier this month, though Mitchell was unable to make the ceremony as he was unwell.

Last week's photo was taken in the birdcage at Moonee Valley in October 1988, just before Bonecrusher clashed with the Wheeler-trained [Our] Poetic Prince in the Cox Plate.

The race was a memorable one for the Kiwis with Poetic Prince defeating another new Hall of Famer Horlicks with Bonecrusher finishing third.
