Q2. In the 1980s Colin Hayes had 2 NH imports run in the same MC. Who were they and what was their final destination at stud ?

The Shoe's 7000th winner was aboard a NZ BRED 7 year old who hadn't won for 3 years. Royal Derby 11 who i maybe wrong or right was a relation to New Moon who he also won on.

ngakonui grass Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 1 hour ago, PWJ said: One for the weekend: This horse never ran in a Melbourne Cup but probably should have given his form. He had his first start at Dargaville and his last start at Santa Anita (Los Angeles). Who was he and who rode him in his first and last wins ? Wouldn't know where to start to get the answer so i will take a guess and say Caterman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
