In the 1970s Secret Sight won numerous distance races at Wentworth Park and Harold Park. Her claim to fame was beating Raggsie at 100 to 1 and then running 2nd in the final to him. Merv was a mate and bought his first dogs off the great Bob Doakes who had Dusty Trail, Dusty Rapid, Kims Monaro etc. Arkaroola Dreamer, Caza Kid, Brodies Reward, Nats Whisper and Digger Norris are a few of Mervs successes. He always had a handy dog. Merv was a very respected President and member of the GBOTA City Branch for many years.
