It does look like Hutt Park doesn't it, with that winning post so close to the turn out of the straight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite quite possibly the worst posed stallion shot ever in NZ Harness history this stallion went on to sire one of the greats of the 70s and 80s. Stood at Pukekohe Interestingly Peter, out of 494 live foals that Tudor Hanover sired, you could count on one hand the number that made it to cup class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might of seen the full sister to Delightful Lady by Tudor Hanover and also out of Desilu named DAVEY'S JILL? I can't remember if they looked similar , but possibly did. Davey's Jill was going around in the FFA Trots !!! while Delightful Lady was winning her 2 Auckland Cups. How unusual is that ?? Two full sisters racing in FFA company Trots and Paces. maybe never happened again? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tar Heel progeny lines seem to have produced a few pacers and trotters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall any at the moment, but I remember a mare Via Veneto, getting to open class pacing, and producing a filly, then mare, called Via Volare, that went onto graduate to open class as a trotter, winning 13 races in all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping some smart cookie like you could fill in the details Pretty sure that is the Wainui hill in the background on the left, and the stand is in the right place for Hutt Prk.

Globederby19 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 "S "is going to be littered with horses as well. I have to say for us older folks, that this trip down memory lane has been quite emotional. So many memory's from the 1960,s up till now and so many great horses, and also those favourite horses that maybe weren't top grade but added to the story. Good fun this and has jogged the memory banks for things that have passed but have suddenly been bought into the light again and elicited some nostalgic times past. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll put up a Squaregaiter photos 'S' through the day for you guys to spot as there are LOT of GOOD ones. Also today for 'S' fun we have the 'S' Interdominion , 8 Aus 'S' horses v 8 Nz 'S' horses....... ***** I will decide if nominations make the field of your open class Pacers. (one nomination at a time please) from Maria I accept STANLEY RIO, a Nz cup, Auckland Cup and Interdominion winning qualifier. I'll match him with Aussie Interdominion winner 'Shakamaker'. so the first 2 horses are In the Grand Final field . Allstars trio of SPANKEM, SMOLDA, and SELF ASSURED will not be accepted. Too modern, too fast, too good, and would likely be the first three home in the race. go back 10 years or more to try and get your horse in. and here's the first trotter too ! whata beauty !!
