Triple treat at the Stony Creek -1987

This is the finish of the Rod Carmichael Handicap at Stony Creek Racecourse in 1987. The judges of the day could not separate Fast Seal, Mr Spectre and Chesterfield and declared a triple dead heat.

This thrust the popular little Stony Creek Racecourse into the racing spotlight and evoked a huge response.

News helicopters arrived within the hour and there was huge demand for the photos of the finish, which appeared the next day in the newspapers Australia-wide.

Race Caller Peter Eustace had his voice - declaring "I can't split these" - beamed all over the nation.

There was havoc in TAB outlets around the country - with six separate win and place dividends, three quinella and six trifecta dividends.

It also meant all three horses were alive in the daily double and quadrella!

The race and the result remain hot topics of conversation in racing circles. Many of those involved that day are still asked questions about the result. None have any doubt that it was a triple dead-heat".
