Is it near Bulls and the grave of Bess, one of only a handful of horses from WWI that returned home? Not near Bulls I'm sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 This might test a few of you. A finish to an important race which, based on the first two home, would have a major impact on NZ breeding. Name the race and the first two home please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing Show Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 There are not many racecourses that wide and I remember when I went to Longchamp it got pretty wide the further you went from the winning post 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 Okay, here's a thorny one: Who am I ? I was bred in Ireland and Group-placed at Leopardstown, winning just once in over a dozen starts. I was by a Champion Sire who was a Champion Miler as a racehorse. I was later exported to stand at stud in NZ where disastrously I left just 10 foals only two of whom were winners, my best performer winning races at Tweed River & Gympie ! I was exported then to South America in disgrace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
