In fact he never left a stakes horse in NZ, the best being a Vercoe Steeplechase winner at Te Rapa named Trelays Joshua and a useful hurdler named Master Brin. He also left a nice broodmare in Society Lass... that's something 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted February 29 Author Share Posted February 29 2 hours ago, Dancing Show said: Yes that's what I was thinking, New York state Maria and NG guessed right. Appalachian area. New Paltz, about 10kms west of the Hudson. I ended up not far from there in hillbilly country once (late 90s) in the Taconic Mountains to inspect a mare we had been offered. The family lived in a barn and had a ditch out the back for a toilet. The kids were literally wearing sacks sewn together. The mare was a half-sister to the Kentucky Derby winner (and subsequent Dubai World Cup winner) Silver Charm. They had acquired her as a mount for farm work and breed other farm mounts. Traded a couple of mules for her ! We offered them $300k but they wanted more. This was their lotto win ! I think they got about $700k for her in the end. Her half-sister - unraced - a couple of years later, sold for $1.2m ! We made it back to NY City okay after we decided to exit the local bar in the nearest township following some pretty hostile looks. Deliverance vibes all the way. Could not get down the Taconic Parkway quick enough.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Blue Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Just now, Dancing Show said: A Jim Byrne / Toby Edmonds combo 🙂 yep. Pretty sure he had 5 cracks on Magic Millions day across 5 years. Is a handsome Chestnut too 🥰. Captain Ray at KAOS HQ would nail this one . They might be too tricky for PJ at CONTROL HQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't win as much as I thought initially . 9 from 43 starts . so a bit tough for the NZ folk here. The interesting bit of Trivia was Conrad SIEGFRIED, the KAOS man in famous TV comedy Get Smart was only in 14 of the 138 episodes filmed of Get Smart. seemed like a Way LOT more ?? . One of the funniest TV Villians ever . most famous quote >> " This is KAOS, we don't Do That here " 😁 Edited March 16 by Lightning Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
