Hesi Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 Former Derby 2nd favourite Cruz Missile transferred to Aus, as is Derby runner up, Andalus. While the call of the big money in Aus is irresistible, how many of this fabulous crop of 3 year olds will race in NZ as 4 year olds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 And the icing on the cake, Pennyweka totally dominant in the Aus Oaks, to round off a vintage season of 3 years olds. If it was Bordeaux, it would be 1945. Only 2 questions remaining 1. How will they shape up as 4 year olds and where 2. Which one will get 3 year old of the year Sharp 'N' Smart - Champion Stakes, Herbie Dyke, NZ Derby Prowess - Bonecrusher, Vinery Pennyweka - NZ Oaks, Aus Oaks Legarto - 1000 Guineas, Aus Guineas All G1 winners in NZ and Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buller Rep Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Isn't the Group One race that Prowess won in NZ the New Zealand Stakes? [Sponsored by Bonecrusher or the Mitchell family] The Bonecrusher Stakes that I know is run in the Spring for 3 year old's. [Listed or Group 3?] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
