Punting adversaries from years gone by in Robert Halliday (left) and Malcolm Bingham caught up at Tara Raceway’s meeting last Sunday. Halliday is still racing a few greyhounds on a regular basis although he concedes that his punting days are now well behind him. But there was a time when Halliday and Bingham, one of the local bookmaker legends in the early days of local greyhound racing, had engaged in many spirited punting duels at the local greyhound meetings. While Halliday’s punting days are now just a distant memory and Bingham’s satchel-swinging days a thing of the past, the pair certainly enjoyed their get-together when reminiscing about old times.
