Records show that 602 numbers were given out in 1972 and it was during the Park Harness Championship class of that year that there was the famous duel between Beamington (shown by Doris Ryan) and Bennfields Ace.  On this date Beamington came out the victor, but it was a very hard fought battle between two exceptional Morgans. Ann Hutcheson won the Saddle Seat Championship on Townshend Vigilward for Bridle Vale Farm.  From the dates of the show results it would also appear that this was the first year that the show ran over four days.  Show results here
