Hesi Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 NG - 13 Maria - 7 LB - 3 BS - 2 OM - 1 25. Easy one to start and not related to MC, but what was notable about the meeting at Matamata yesterday - 1 point 26. What was the fate of the 1865 trophy and where is it now - 2 points 27. When did the tradition of the first Tues in Nov start - 1 point 28. The 1868 MC would have been a godsend for punters on the NZ TAB today, with no deductions, why? - 1 point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 25. Minus 1 point if you say La Crique's win. Impressive, but beat very little. Trackside commentators still waxing lyrical hours after the event, here we go again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the fate of the 1865 trophy and where is it now - 2 points The first Cup with a trophy , was sold immeadiately by the owner of the 1865 because he didn't like it, to the Flemington Hunt Club and presented as their annual Cup. Millionaire wine maker Wolf Blass has it in his keeping these days . purchased through a Christie's auction.

I'll update the leaderboard later To think, the undisputed centre of excellence in NZ racing. A district that has produced so many top horses, even a few champions, yet the racing club, has never held a G1, up until last Sat!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
