Superstar Sprinter Satan’s Legend. I was asked to find out how long The Shoe’s record at Harold Park stood for. It was not unlike the reign of the mighty Temlee at Olympic Park. Set at 26 even in December 1967, equalled by Arctic Fire in January 1973 and broken by Satan’s Legend in the final of the $14,500 Bi-Annual Classic at Harold Park on Saturday the 25th of March 1978. What a star Satan’s Legend was. Reared by Bernie Strong raced and trained by Denny Gillard and looked after by Dr. John Murray. Won his first 11 straight including the Silverchief and later also won the Maturity. Hard to beat at Olympic Park but also won a heat of the Melbourne Cup in 1977, finishing third behind Mile Post the margins were 1/2 by 3/4 of a length. Here are some articles about the champ.
