Maximus Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Ok just for the hell of it, who are the most significant NZ-bred thoroughbreds of the last, say, 40 years? I'll start with a few obvious ones, in no particular order, and you can fill in the gaps. Nothing from before 1980 please Kiwi Empire Rose Bonecrusher Waverley Star Mr Tiz Rough Habit McGinty Brew Ethereal Might and Power Castletown Altitude Xcellent Seachange Princess Coup Mufhasa Romanee Conti Katie Lee Savabeel Darci Brahma Bounding Dundeel Mongolian Khan Habibi Rising Romance Silent Achiever Melody Belle Kawi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Shame on you Maximus, missing the glorious Veandercross, would rate 3rd or 4th on that initial list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 And in most people's minds, the most significant thoroughbred of the last 40 years, Sunline 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) now, now, don't be mean, it was not intended to be a comprehensive list, just the first ones that came into my head...there are many more 'missing'..and it's your job to 'find' them for me . What about the Asian performers? Werther comes to mind ...i didnt follow HK/Singapore racing for many moons ...

Maximus Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Just now, Say No More said: Horlicks did ok in Asia (and Australia) Poetic Prince was one of our best cheers SNM Just now, Say No More said: Katie Lee probably doesn't belong on that list.
