Having recently completed his apprenticeship in Sydney, top young rider Brian Foy decided to try his luck in the Canberra area, and had his first ride there during the last week of April 1967. On Saturday, 29 April, he landed a treble at the Queanbeyan Racing Club's ladies' day meeting when getting home on Forest Glen, Coolzami and Gold Stamp.

Forest Glen won the Improvers by a length and a half: Coolzami and Gold Stamp, both sent out from trainer Paul Graham's Cooma yard, were, like Forest Glen, ridden from the front to win their races easily - Coolzami broke the track record whilst Gold Stamp, the shortest priced favourite of the day, coasted home by six lengths. Brian Foy received much praise in the press for his excellent riding.
