There’s a good article on HRNZ about the Pukekohe Punter, a relatively young fella having a go.

Yes, this was quite unique two bro's going around.
Think Zabadak, Henry Skinner, use to be the quick one, while Stampede was more a staying type.

Finally, you ran into my cunning plan Chief. So you agree showing the whip is enough, that’s impossible if you haven’t got one. Most of the time you want your horse on the bit gathered up, showing them the whip is enough, especially colts, most horses really.
