Profile

Since Keith Flynn's ownership, Helsal II has taken line honours in the '89 West Coaster Race from Melbourne to Hobart and in '91 broke the record for the Adelaide Port Lincoln Race -  a record that stood for 17 years. Helsal II last raced to Hobart in '91 finishing 7th in division. Flint was hoping for a win, as he celebrated his 70th birthday on Boxing Day '91. Perhaps he will get his wish this year for his 72nd.
