star ghost Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) Thinking offhand I can only come up with Morrie Pyke. I cannot say where or when he rode, just a name from the past. The other name I came up with was "Mike" Poloukard, a Pole, but it would not have been him I think.

norbold Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Mike Polukard was more 50s and 60s than 40s and 50s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star ghost Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 That was why I didn't think it was him anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star ghost Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I can remember (Dink, Dinks, Dinky) Philpott riding for Exeter. Also his real name is unknown to me Clutching at straws the only other possibility is that the M is a misformed H and it would bring the possibility of Herbie Plain but playing at that game maybe AP and that would bring in Arthur Pilgrim. If anyone knows Dinks real name that may be the answer Maybe Mr Lethbridge could ride to the rescue here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star ghost Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Whilst looking up some stuff on the Speedway Researcher Site today I went to the Exeter Section and found the results for 1948 The Peamore Trophy was a form of Second Half event for the lesser lights at Exeter and there were 3 regular winners - John Hancox, Gordon Taylor and Herbie Plain. Each had a spell as regular race winners in this series. A Final was due to be run on 18 October but did not take place. It looks more than likely the rider would have been Herbie Plain I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
