Editor's note: My records tell me that Clark's first winning drive was on Free Trouble trained by his father Ron and owned by Eddie Geary and Graeme Wright. The win was at Forbury Park October 11th 1980. Free Trouble paid $14.50 and backed up seven days later to win again at Forbury in a 3200 metre race. He paced the journey in 4.28.3 and beat handicap horses Mark Antony, Model Hardcraft and Really Sly. Your best season? Editor's note: 366 drives - 69 -39 - 39 $273,102.
