Hondo Grattan was a pacer from Bathurst NSW and known as the "Bathurst Bulldog". He was famous because of the following achievements:Lord Mayor’s Cup 1975
Inter Dominion Pacing Championship 1974
Inter Dominion Pacing Championship 1973
Miracle Mile 1972
New South Wales Sires Produce Stakes 1971
Johnny Tapp, a very well known race caller, was such a fan he got his mates together and recorded a track called “Little Hondo” which hit the charts and got to #35 in June 1974 in NSW. It shared the top 40 with a competing version by Ed Mackie.
