Dancing Show Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 As we seem to have advanced to N's .. I started thinking about chestnut harness horses or those trying to be chestnut's last night (there aren't that many of them sadly) - does anyone remember Night Allowance?

Hesi Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Just reading up about Noodlum, what a sensational career. Don't follow the harness these days, but has there been a better juvenile to race in NZ. Christian Cullen??, Courage Under Fire?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You trying to be helpful here Wins the gong for greatest 'N' horse I would think. The famous photo below, is from one of only 2 defeats in his career. (he galloped once as well) The excuses put forward for the incident below were. No 2/ is my guess. 1/ Trainer/Driver Clint Galbraith said he just lost his footing on a slippery track. 2/ Niatross got a fright from being hit with a whip for the first time. 3/ A leader of the Niatross syndicate insisted he was drugged. He had actually been headed when this happened. 4/ Because he had been headed for the first time ever in his career , Niatross, sensing defeat, attempted suicide. lol.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Blue Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 46 minutes ago, far too much said: majestic man A great trotter . Been giving them a hard time in Aus in recent times. Here's one for Globe that reminds me of Majestic Man as could scoot along a bit, and throw in a big long distance run too. This one is because we started the great 'N' horses.

Don't follow the harness these days, but has there been a better juvenile to race in NZ. Christian Cullen??, Courage Under Fire?? Quite right Hesi. The best 2yr old I think we have ever seen , which carried on into his 3yr old year and curtailed by injury in his 4yr old year. He set so many records it beggars belief. What he could have achieved ?. I remember the NZ Welcome Stakes . Lost 50 to 60 mtrs , ranged up wide on the turn and ran away for a 5 length victory. Superb horse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double R Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 No horse whose name starts with the letter N, has won the New Zealand Trotting Cup. Three more to add to the N list is: Nimble Yankee, Nippon Home, and No Response. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did'nt Nimble Yankee win the Pan Am or Miracle Mile as it was known then? I remember he was very much a sit sprinter and have a big finish.

Keith Lawlor who drove Lunar Chance wasn't the worlds best driver, but the horse liked to be driven hard, and kept going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
