Great front running rider Last I heard he was riding in WA but that was many years back. I had a lot of big wins off him also, Tom. He rode a lot for Garth Ivil and they were a serious punting stable. used to get the word when something was set to go. Lots of fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 1970 there have been six Kiwi-bred winners - can you name them all ? Yes, but I'm not going to spoil it. Too easy PJ if I can answer it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 Here's a tricky one for Friday. There is a horse engaged in a 2yo Group race this weekend in Australia, which if it wins, will be the first major Australian-bred stakeswinner from this line for 5 years. The modern version of this line began with a phenomenal stallion back in the 1970s who in a very brief career left 5 Gr1 winners and 21 stakeswinners from just 85 foals to race - a strike rate no modern stallion can get close to. Like most sirelines though they fade sooner rather than later although if this filly can win on Saturday she might temporarily at least be a bright sunset for this line. 1) Name the stallion from the seventies who started this modern day line 2) Name the filly racing tomorrow that might give the line it's first major winner in 5 years Only clue I will give you is that this modern-day sireline has provided an Arc de Triomphe winner, a Melbourne Cup winner and a NZ 1000 Guineas winner and that the best sire son of the answer to "A" is buried in the Arrowfield cemetery just 20 metres from my desk ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
