  5. I agree Curious - a great effort and should be applauded. It is a hard game to do well in and Wallace and Waterford have done very well in a short space of time. Granted they have had big cheque books behind them but you don't get that unless you put in the hard yards. You are right I doubt any other NZ bloodstock agent has achieved that level of success.

  13. Perhaps you are correct in considering it is insignificant however my understanding is he has a major influence on what the China Horse Club purchases. Nice to see a Kiwi connection on the big stage no matter how big or small it might be. Also great to see the Kiwi connection through Lonhro being the sire of Gronowski.
