Very sad another icon has passed.
He apparently knew he wasn't looking well towards the end and refused to have his picture taken.
Like Tommy Smith, Colin Hayes et al, a racing dynasty has been lost, not the new sons and daughters, but the old school knowledge.
Colin took the English rolling hills and simulated his Angaston property to get the horses fit by running them on a slow and steady increasing incline.
Bart knew it took miles in their legs to get Cup winners and mirrors in their stalls to keep them happy.
I don't think anyone will ever surpass Bart's Cup winning record.
Long may it stand.
