Globederby19 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I suppose we should mention the original Double D, long before Dexter. Denis Nyan, who will always be associated with Robalan and Lordship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she was leased and the lease ran out ?? so the 'real' owner an elderly bloke, put her with Hillier after? wouldn't of been anything Mike did . just different person paying her bills with own trainer preference. Easily the horse I saw win the most races live, by nearly double anything else too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Show Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Saw a bit of Delightful Lady after her retirement and she always looked beautiful. She worked with Isabell Roddick's (Rough Habit) brother and pulled carriages for folk celebrating weddings etc. One of my faves and possibly not in the same champ realm as some of these...

Enterprise , also had a brilliant Auckland Cup win driven by Wolfie , and in the photo above had gone in as a solid kiwi Rep to take on Preux Chevalier and Village Kid at the 1985 Interdominion. He won a heat , but didn't make the GrandFinal , so took out the Consolation instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Blue Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 Some 'F' for Fabulous and Fast horses today , and as Nelson trots get under way we'll move on through 'G' for greats and into the 'H' Hero Horses as well. Here's a Nz world class runner to start off. Certainly an 'F' for First-Class (and not Fail ) for him when he raced. Who is this great horse? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to note Hesi, FALSE STEP in 1960 also went to that Interdominion in Sydney we were talking about earlier in this thread where 50,000 people jammed in to see CADUCEUS win off the backmark at Harold Park, Sydney. The Aussies jammed False Step way back on 36yard handicap with Caduceus as well , to try and beat the kiwi greats. It didn't work, and Caduceus still Won , with False Step un-placed on that mammoth occasion in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Blue Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 And an old near 100 year old photo of one of the most Important pacers to have graced our shores. Winner of many in Australia including from 135 yards behind handicap, (was 2nd off 230 yards once) He did campaign in NZ as well off huge handicaps, but couldn't get into the placings against the kiwi's. Who is this giant of the 'G's great? why is he so Great ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
