It was interesting to note that while I thought only 7 riders died at Takapuna Race Course, I've discovered 9 had been fatally injured there. And should you be in Auckland and look across to Devonport ... on Mt Victoria there is a small, very old, cemetery and James Allum rests there from 1885 and yes he was injured at Takapuna - that discovery came courtesy of the Devonport Museum staff.
